lol it's funny to see someone on the defensive about the PS for once :D... anyway bananaking you can try to flip it anyway you want... even if they where off by 200% on their estimate you would have 9 million users and that's if the revenue is directly from subscriptions only.... there is no way what so ever that PSN+ has 50% of the xbl user base... it would mean they were at least 700% off base with the estimate it would also mean more than 1.2 billion in revenue... you know that's something you don't burry in a financial report... you let everyone know about it...

Are we really arguing a pay wall #'s vs optional service #'s

Wait until Ps4 and Xbox One and compare both services since both will be MP pay walls

Meh, it depends on the game if multiplayer is worth anything. It hasnt been fun in years on console for me. I have not had many issues with either xbl or psn as long as I have used them. I dont have anything negative to say really but that the psn marketplace is a sluggish laggy joke. The only reason I buy ps+ is for the games every month and the cloud game saves for the ps3 and vita, thats worth $5 especially for cloud game save backups.

I enjoy the 64 player maps on PC much more and no paywall, this could change as the new systems can handle 64 player maps soon.

Gold>PSN, but it's really close to call. Cross game-chat is the only advantage Xbox had really and now with this upcoming generation that advantage is gone so I guess it's a tie.

the accounts carry forward but the heading "take on the world" it is misleadiing as multiplayer games will only have a million possible opponents after the console sells a million units...
