You're right.  Live should be MUCH higher since it is on PCs and mobile devices, where as the PSN numbers are just 3 consoles, 2 of which are dying out.  If anything, the loss of 3M Live users in 3-4 months just shows the losing interest in Xbox.  In the end, Live numbers are just okay, considering all the devices that its numbers include, while the PSN numbers are great.

 

Cool story bro

As I said, Xbox Live has assended to a totally different scale,

Was that link just a long winded way to say that level is now below PSN? And just dropped even further in the last few months.  That is, in fact, a cool story...bro.

And to think people here used to say Sony would never charge for online play. That kind of revenue is just silly good.

A shame that in return for all that free money we've seen a massive drop in quality of PS+ games, and a still pretty lackluster PSN service. The free games drop off is natural, of course. A combination of needing big games to sell you on PS+ last gen + not needing it now that it's required for MP pretty much signaled the end of those days. Still, no Knack? No Driveclub? Infamous? Killzone? Bloodborne? There are lots of games they could give the US that retail for $20 and would be way better than the indie trash they usually give us.

Interesting for an Xbox fan to criticize the game handouts (with of course no mention of the deep discounts given), when they were perfectly fine handing MS money and getting little to nothing in return last gen.  Thank goodness for Sony, otherwise you would still be trying to come up with poor excuses as to why it was fine to pay and get no games in return and to pay for access to apps you already paid for.
