PSN account =/= PS+
for the ps3 you didnt need to purchase plus, but if you wanted online features you have to sign up for the playstation network. thats free, but as its an online service you need to sign up for it. the same deal goes with the ps4. if you want the online features you need to create a psn account, or use an already existing one. you do not need to purchase plus. (edit: to clarify, you get online services, not mp. so netflix and all that junk doesnt need + )
all psn accounts are linked to a console, when you go onto the psn website you can see the consoles activated you your account. for me i see my ps3 and my ps4. once it is activated you can only deactivate it on the console itself or by calling sony. they can look at playstation network accounts that have never been associated with a ps3 that way.
and the 47% figure is off, it was 31%
(mods i left the 4th quote tree as the last part of my post refers to it, and i didnt want it to get lost.)

Same effect, not everyone takes their consoles online...

so it gives a rough estimation. what evidence do you have that the % among the offline users would be significantly different?

It's fine to call it a rough estimate rather than fact. But you can't get too defensive over a ball-park figure.
Likewise, what evidence do you have that the % among the offline users would not be significantly different? It may end up to be insignificant, but using the lack of evidence as proof that this is indeed the case is a fallacy.
Out of interest I had a quick look around for some other stats. There could be 30%+ "offline" gamers, which would be significant.
