With every guesstimate, you go by the full price. To my knowledge, PSN year passes are on sale less then you'd find a deal on Xbox Live Gold. But that is beside the point...you usually do the market price as the base number, in this case, $50. Again...its an estimate.

It is not the lowest possible number, its more in the middle. It could be higher, or lower. No need to take issue with it...it is what it is. If you are insecure enough to take issue with a low estimate, then thats between you and Sony to work out. Not my problem.

Now it would appear that you're just being insulting.  I don't actually give a fuck what the number is, I never had a problem with that.  I have NO IDEA what you're talking about with "on sale", either.  I'm just trying to make you understand that basing everything off a $50 membership when there is an $18 membership as well is BLOODY STUPID.

At this point, it's pretty obvious that your being obtuse on purpose or you'd understand that the average paid per member is going to be somewhere between $50 and $18.  This isn't complicated whatsoever.

I have to agree with sales. Most people don't just buy an $18 membership and nothing else and if they do can they be counted as PS+ members since they no longer have the membership. Most get it for a year so $50 is the best estimate. Now the actual number most likely is more than 3 million subscribers imo as there were probably a lot of new memberships created in the later part of 2012 (including myself I believe) but that is pretty much just speculation. So while yes the number COULD be as high as 7.77 million, 1 $18 subscription, it probably isn't. It is somewhere between 2.8 and 7.77 million probably on the lower end as many members had more than 1 $18 subscription. Anything beyond that is pure speculation and there is absolutely no reason to get mad at someone for suggesting 3 million as an estimate. They might be wrong, but with the numbers given, it's the best starting point. 2013 should give much clearer numbers.
