Most gamers argue about which console is better, or which has a better online gaming service. Most would say Xbox Live is better, since you must pay for their service to play online.
Well, our friends at Joysiq got some amazing numbers from Sony at the press conference at CES.
Sony CEO Howard Stringer explained that 60 million Playstation Network accounts have been made, while only 30 million (Free and Gold) Xbox Live accounts have been made.
Joystiq notes that this includes users on a PS3, PSP, and people who have created Playstation Network accounts online without actually touching a console or handheld.
What do you think? Is this a fair lead?

Well of course they have more! Let me break it down....
If someone on xbox wants to change their name they can just do it with MS points without making a new account.
If someone on PS3 wants to change their name they have to make a new account ( Unless its Japanese)
Therefore every time a PS3 user changes their name they will make a new account I know friends with 5 accounts because they keep changing names for clans and stuff.
As on xbox when they join a clan or something or want a new name they can just pay for it meaning less accounts are created!
\Thread might aswell be closed now I have just pissed all over OP's bonfire
