Basic math based on the approximate revenue generated gives us a rough estimate of 2.8 million suscribers.

Personally, that seems spot on when it's an optional feature, marketed to a userbase that prides itself on free multiplayer.

That and the service is only a couple years old.

i dont see any real numbers. these are estimates. or should we take the words of analysts as truth now?

What, you don't like estimates?  Remember when Netflix calculated that they would only lose a tiny number of subscribers when they more than double the price in less than 9 months.  Well, sure, the stock did drop by something like 70% because they weren't quite accurate at the flood of users they would lose.  They then tried to split the company and made it worse.

I'm sure all the people who go online now on the PS3 will buy pay for mulit player on the PS4.  Just like I'm sure that the PS4 will clearly have the best graphics and framerate.  /s
