It was 48 million subscribers earlier this year so Gold.

Wtf, why are so many people still using a 360. That number is going to start plummeting soon.

I thought it would be higher considering how many more online only/mainly games there are these days compared to last gen.

not so much on PS



Very nice. I stopped paying for PS+ because I don't go online anymore I've been playing single player but still very nice.

I'm actually shocked about how low this is. Don't forget this also includes Vita and PS3 owners.

From what we know, before PS4 the number was between 2 to 4M subscribers. It seems like the free games aren't really enough to gather subscritions, but the online paywall really works. Unfortunate, but that's what the consumers are showing. So these numbers are basically all for PS4 owners, Vita and PS3 numbers probably went down.

So is PS+ bigger than Xbox Live now? If not it will be very soon, As many PS+ subscribers as people that actually own a XBO I doubt there's gonna be many people with a Live subscription for just the 360.

When you can create a XboxLiive account on PC , Sony will be hard pressed to compete in this Arena.

Mhm, you can also create a psn account on any platform excluding rival consoles, psn I believe is well over 100 million users, and far ahead of Xbox live in subscriber numbers....

Thats not for gold. That's for gold and silver, Forbes misreported it. If you actually look into the Microsoft PR itself, it reads that 

  • Live monthly active users grew 30% year-over-year to a record 48 million
And that's it. That's all they mention on it. There's no way Microsoft grew it's install base by 30% in one year for paid subscriptions, PSN has more monthly active users and I believe their paid user numbers are within the ballpark of each other now

PSN 110 million as of 2013, these are accounts created..... on PSP,ps3,psvita,and ps4

Ps4 is just a behemoth in the console space.

Ps,plus is now a billion dollar revenue puller annually for Sony.

In a few years I can see them making a billion in profit every year just from ps plus.

There's no way that there are 48M gold subs. 



So they are doing a very good job on their end with PS4 and PSN+, congrats to them.
