Even in a core gamer website the 20% of active user in PSN Home is impressive.


Whatever you have to keep telling yourself man.  Even Joeoroc has finally come around to admitting he was wrong, even if he is still willing to quibble over how many users he thinks are active of that 31 million.

Internet polls on websites are really quite pointless because i'm sure a lot of people voted against it who don't even own a PS3, and a lot of people who voted for it just because they want to make all things PS3 look good.

Not to mention the multiple votes... and the fact a lot of people answered with "yes i've used it once or twice" indicating they should put no... but instead put yes as being an active user.

All that matters is Sony themelves says they won't release active userbase numbers to the public.  Therefore that number is clearly not active userbase.

I said no such thing, and Again i was pointing out the fact that what you claim, about Home being lower Active user base is not clear cut . for instance they said it was over key word "Over 31 million" that could be 31 million +1 or many 100,000's over.

"All that matters is Sony themelves says they won't release active userbase numbers to the public.  Therefore that number is clearly not active userbase."

while true Jack stated that back in 2010, that may not be true today! because where is the other interview's with Jack over active user base number's?


There is not one shred of evidence to suggest there has been a policy change, as they have never stated it as one.

Additionally you seem to be the only person anywhere reporting it as "active user base".

At this point you know your wrong and just don't want to admit it.  The numbers taken at face value = Total users.

 

Also >10 million can still be a huge active userbase.  I feel like you REALLY don't understand this stuff.

 

10 Million users is equal to the number of people who pay for World of Warcraft.  The most profitable MMO ever.


I mean heck, Disney would be pumped to get 10 million users on star wars.  Hell... 5 Million.   2Million users would still be worth it... maybe even less since we're just talking about a few easy to design polygon items.

Who cares how successful it is?  It's more or less free advertising... plus whatever bonus cut you might get from item sales.  It's something that costs pretty much nothing, but is sure to bring a profit.

 

It's like how Valve makes an INSANE amount of money off of TF2 items.
