PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Can't you sign up for an account for any country? I thought people made multiple accounts to get stuff from other regions.

Kaz Hirai Confirms PSN numbers are larger due to multiple accounts.

I am really surprised that Norway beats both Sweden and Denmark

Wow, nearly a milllion accounts in Mexico.

Holland, Hong Kong and Norway also far, far higher than I would have thought.

US numbers are gigantic, boosted by the rest of the world creating accounts to access the NA PSN store, but still online is huge in NA for Sony.


Don't forget PSP has PSN too and there are far more PSP's in the world than PS3's


I don't see the PS3 mentioned in that post.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

PSN accounts count from Website Accounts, PS3 Accounts, PSP Acounts.

And you can be in any country and make an account for another.

I have a Euro Account and Asian Account. Both I made for either beta access or free Live wallpapers that were region locked.

I was reading in between the lines. There are a combined 42 million or so PSP and PS3's in the Americas (I know that is not US only). So the number doesn't seem that gigantic even when taking into account shared accounts across both platforms. And I don't disagree that a ton of the accounts are from other parts of the world.

That doesn't mean Dallinor thought this was PS3 only. Plus the 31 million is greater than the 21 million PSPs and 19 million PS3s, so it's clear they are not for just one system.

To clarify, I'm well aware it's not limited to the PS3.

A more interesting result could be drawn by comparing the number of accounts to the install base of each country.

North America - 74%

Japan- 31%

EMEAA -63%

Japan seems very low.
