"You do know that that includes PSP owners as well right?"

"This number also includes PSP users and possibly PS2 users subscribed to the service, not just PS3 users."

"Well, this is a no brainer! It's obvious that the $100 Xbox Wifi is the culprit. Oh wait! You don't need Wifi to get online! Ooops! Hmmm... About $4 a month for Live? . . . . . .

Anyway, seriously now. Let's not forget that “some 55 percent of all adult Americans now have a high-speed internet connection, or a broadband connection, in their home, according to the report, ‘Home Broadband Adoption 2008.’” Do you think there's a relation?"

"Few problems this is psn ids across ps and ps3 and you calculation that every one of those ids is for a separate ps3 is way off, i have 4 myself one for uk, japan, usa and hk"

"Thanks for your comments guys. The article has been updated accordingly. "

"u showed u r very stupid...why?because psn users are combined psp and ps3 users but XBL is only x360 users got that?"

"http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/691223/Sonys_14_Million_PSN_Users_Number_Includes_PSP_Accounts.html

And I bet you it includes any PS2 owner that has an account at playstation.com."

"soooooo...what you're saying is that you acknowledge that the numbers are BS and you're reporting it anyway?"

"Hmmm... i dunno. Still needs more cowbell."

"1, PS2 users don't use PSN, why would they? what for?
2, I think the number would be higher is they used Playstation.com accounts, a lot higher
3, PSP account's is likely, but anybody with both PSP & PS3 has the same account, as the systems are paired.
But multiple accounts are a real possibility, but do ya really think everyone knows they can do it?"

"the same can be said about XBL users I have 3 accounts on 360. I know quite a few people who have more than one account."

"This could also be down to the fact that PS offere their service for free and have wifi integrated out of the box. MS took this out to cut corners and save money which is obviously going to affect take up rates as people don;t live having to fork out for more hardware. Still even with a £39.99 a year membership your still buying into a superior experience with Xbox live and with the next console they should learn from their mistakes."
