(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So apparently when your company loses half your users information and your company goes off line for weeks at a time AND you get sloppy second DLC from a competing console, you can still gain a lot of users. 3 million users to be exact. At the IFA Conference yesterday, Sony CEO Howard Stringer claimed that since the outage over 3 million PSN users have joined up. To put that in comparison there is only over two and a half million users just on Steam alone.


Whilst the numbers are a tad outrageous to say the least, Stringer had this to say, "We are aggressively expanding its content [and] have more than 3 million new customers since the network came back online, and sales are exceeding what we had before the cyber-attacks." Sony has definitely stepped up it's game and with the love and support Valve has given them since the attacks, next year might be Sony's time to shine.


Howard was talking about 2011 saying "we at Sony have been flooded, we've been flattened, we've been hacked, we've been singed. But the summer of our discontent is behind us."

Stringer also revealed launch information for Sony's Tablet S device, which will be priced at $499 and $599 at launch - the same as Apple's market-leading iPad. Some people are already speculating that the tablet and the Vita will share cross platform apps and games, as well as a few games from Sony's back catalogue - basically Crash Bandicoot almost anywhere you want him to be.
