PSN Hits 1.5 Million Users - May 21, 2007 00:56
Quote From [link=]www.PSU.com[/link]

After a mere 6 months, Sony has created a very real online presence.

Straight from Gamer' s Day, we' ve got the numbers of Sony' s online world. First off, over 1.5 million users have created online accounts, with 775,000 coming from North America (we don' t know if these are individual PS3s, as some people have multiple accounts for differing regions).

At this 6 month mark, Microsoft had only 500,000 users on Xbox Live. For those of you who think that' s not a fair comparison, the 500,000 number also includes the free silver edition.

Wait wait wait...there was Gold and Silver memberships when Live was first introduced?

If they are talking about Gold and Silver, then they must be talking about only the numbers since the release of the 360. So 500,000 new users in the 6 months period on top of the previous installed base. Regardless tho 1.5 million is a nice number to hit in a mere 6 months I guess... can some one with facts tell me if thats an amazing feat or not dammit?

No.

It' s probably talking about 360 sign-ups. However, it still sounds incorrect.

as some people have multiple accounts for differing regions


As do many people on the Xbox Live network (although I think MS cracked down on ' em semi-regularly).

How much easier, or harder, is it to create an account on the PSN?

Get a PS3 and find out.

Does anyone here have a PS3? If so, do you have any idea how to create accounts for different regions? Do you have to use more than one profile?

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.
