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?

Mainly because you cant change your user name on PSN. Thats my opinion.

well ya, if you keep the stores region specific yet allow anyone with a dummy address to sign up thats what youll get. i thin its more telling of the number of actual working xbox 360s there are out in the world than anything else. :wtf:

I know this has been posted by many people in here already, but honestly,

I made like 100 accounts over the time span of 2 years when I had my PS3.

No joke, I have my main, then when CoD4 was around & I got 10th, I made like 2 more to level legit on, at least 25+ accounts to hack CoD4 on, I made about 20 failed attempted accounts trying to make a better main account with a more creative name, never used them. Same thing with MW2, I did CL's and made like 50+ accounts for that.

I think a good reason for this is accounts being free to make...
Let's try finding how many ACTIVE people have PSN?
