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 I bet ps3 has more registered accounts because people make accounts like crazy seeing as how they're free. Hell, I made an account for my dog for the lulz :p

Console sales is still the better measurement of success and the one they are not mentioning because they are still well behind Nintendo but closing the gap on Xbox.
Units sold ( just primary gaming consoles, does not include handhelds) as of 1-1-2011
Wii= 84.4 million
Xbox= 50.5 million
PS3 = 46.0 million

As other have stated, PSN lets you set up multiple accounts for free.
Although I like PS3 better for all around features.
