there you go again:

 

Double digit percentage of something really isn't informative considering everything between 1-9 and 100 is a double digit percentage.  So it's generally only used when we are talking about percentages between 10-12%.  (Expanded out to 15% to be generous)

fOR ONE Jack did not list the % number like you stated, but also he did not list it to be high or low, you are the one that stating its Low. those same 1 million player's have come back to that single part of playstation home 7 million times in that time frame .

for instance the orb runner challenge part of the game has part's that you need a certain level of goggles to get to hidden part's of the game platform to gather Orb's . you cannot even get to that part unless you have those goggle's and you would A: have to take the long extended playing time to gather orb's at a very slow rate when you reach a point in the total that until the next day your total for the day of orb's that you have collected zero's out for the next day. unless you can keep getting more orb's you get to beat your last score without goggle's  allowing you to get to those extra places your score for orb collection reaches a plateau for the day where you can no longer advance further until the next day and next day being real time. and even with those special goggle you reach a score in orb runner which you cannot get past a certain level you collected in the day because it's time challenged every time you play.

so the only way to advance in this game faster is to buy those better goggle's in order to be able to get those orb's that are area's you cannot reach on the board unless you have those. going by unlocking would take quite a bit more time. and week's of real time to gather levle's enough to unlock items. per every 5th level.

so unlike you i really do use this service, and unlike you i think i know a quite a bit more on how this service works than you do. you may be a Mod on here, but you may want to stick to a subject you may know a lil bit more about. In this case Playstation Home, IS NOT A SERVICE YOU USE AT ALL !!!

"I'm done with this largely because it's clear you don't have the reading comprehension skills to understand the information... it's a pain having to explain what all this means when you think something supports your point, and then instead you find out that it's like 1/10th or less of what you thought it was.

Despite it all being in pretty plain, pretty simple english."

 

Again Stop belittling me ..!!!!

Look you may be a Mod, but you are showing me quite a bit of disrespect, and it is Clear as day..you have the Attitude of Home's usage number's that is predetermined  and DOWN PLAYED before you have any hard fact's. for one your Idea of the usage number's of the salt shooter game are not even correct.

for instance:

"How could it be 3 million sales when only 1.3 million levels had been played?   This is basic mathematical reasoning here?"

Like i stated you do not  use the service  at all; an you are acting like your the authority on the usage number's, because if you would have known this you would not have been a question asked by you, because an enguagement is not based on how many times you play a level, per day...they are talking about when you log in for the day and play that game  for the 1st time of the day the  game than counts that as the enguagement. That is only for the first time of the day that is the only time it count's. you could play 50 levels for the day and it still only count's for one enguagement. The reason being in the same game the SCORP'S bug stomper only count's the number of bug's you stomp as a running total, and it add's to your total. but it does indeed give you your total for the day.

YOU STATED THIS:

"Aurora had 1 Million players total."

how many times does those  SAME UNIQUE million player's use the space in the time frame they said 7 million time's! that is just one space not Playstation Home as a total! and that was for totals of the install base is 1 million since the space opened up. that was in 2010 its now 2013

that's eactly what i am talking about there are gamer's on playstation Home that go to multiple spaces, or a single spaces to spend time every day. you are trying to imply the sales number's based a small sample size without all the data. The salt shooter game like i said is not just shooting each other in tanks.

the scorpion stomp is one part of the game that's also there including the puzzle tasks and the totals are added but your enguagement is only for a 24 HOUR PD. AT A TIME. and to get a certain type of scorpion reuires a certain level of brick boot's. you can unlock them but takes a hell of a lot of time to get those unlocked. and certain type's cannot even be stomped on unless you have the vita drink which your avatar can drink but the time limit to stomp on those lil scorpion's is clocked so you have to spend more credit's to get the drink that allows you to kill those without you can only go for the othe scorpion's.

these games incentive are to keep you coming back as a player to keep coming back an play to unlock more trophy items for your avatar. and it's that incentive  in those number you cannot account for because we do not have the number's for, and also there is way to know real hand how those number's look or get a real good idea unless you play the game and look at the leader boards. which is quite clearly seen you do not play this game, you do not check the leader boards, hell you do not check out any leader boards for anypart of the game's for playstation Home.

Again:

 Jack Buser:The PlayStation Home user is the most engaged, most hardcore PlayStation 3 user. They play more games, they buy more games, they watch more movies, and listen to more music than the average PS3 user, who is already an extremely engaged consumer. I think a lot of people might assume Home users are "casual," but they're actually the most engaged consumers we have!.

No one buy's Game's on the PS3 has been said many times on this forum. but yet those  very same people never it seem's take playstation Home's number's into account, never mind when they talk about exclusive Games that are only in playstation Home, but Nintendo's Eshop and Microsoft's xboxlive arcade is it seem's account for when talking about Healthy Online software sales. But Home it seem's is just not taken account for on viability and your Tone of how you look at playstation Home along witn many other's on this very site speaks on how they view Playstation Home. Im not say everyone need's to love playstation Home, but on the same token just because you do not use the service and just because the community on here many may not like Home or see no real use for the service. Does not mean that Playstation Home's number's are or may not be bigger than you think they are.It just mean's your Opinion on the matter is your opinion it does not mean outright your opinion is the only one that is correct.
