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.
