X-Box Live should have more downloads. It's four years older than the PS Network. Over twice the age, over twice the downloads. We have enough information to gather that Sony's 24 million has to include multiple accounts. Sadly, industries like this can manipulate numbers to make things sound better, but without being able to see the stats ourselves, there is really no way to determine which network has more players. We just don't have enough facts.

I firmly believe that the DLC numbers for LIVE are 360 only...and in any case....Xbox did not have as many DLC as 360 does

Even if we could determine which network has the most players. What would we do with the information?

Infinity ward reported 13 million Unique users for CoD4....I think that number alone is more than what the PSn number is of Online players....

@goddog. How is it forum based? Not trying to start something, just clueless to how you can start a PSN account on a forum?

see leo-j post right below yours well except for the xbox forum part that is not counted into live figures.  

Yeah.. i know you can attach your already existing PSN account to your playstation.com profile. But i dont think you can make a PSN account by registering to playstation.com without having some sort of PS hardware to begin with. Ergo, i dont see how a forum profile would spize up that 24m user number.

PSN includes PSP... pretty fundamental thing that they have missed here

Yes, I am sure PSP user have much more impact on this 24m then multi-accounts. Multi-accounts are for geeks.

The same goes for XBL.  One of my friends have 2 XBL accounts.  One for his bother and himself.  Don't forget the people that don't have XBL any more like me.  I believe I'm still counted as being on XBL because I can still go on the 360 site and sign in  The PSN have more people because it's free. 

You can have a 360 and PS3 and have games like Madden and COD so why pay a fee to play those 2 games when you can play for free on the PS3 and they both have about the same number of people online.

that seems like a legitimate reason to have 2 accounts
