Where's the link from Sony saying this? They just said their were 8 million users yesterady. There were over 5 million, way back at E3. This is a joke.

There's something i don't understand.
How is it that +12 Million ps3 were sold, but only 3 million are on PSN?
What the heck are the 9 other million users doing offline?

Will-UK5831d ago

They probaly dont like online gameplay or simply dont know how to go online

hella whip5831d ago

That number is for North America only, there's more when you include Europe and Japan.

whateva5831d ago

it's 3 million users in North America, over 8 million world wide.

resistance1005831d ago

There 12million Ps3 owners WORLDWIDE.

5million in Europe and 2million in Japan, thats leaves 5million for America.

So on these figures that means there are 60% of american Ps3 owners on PSN, which is preatty impressive.

kewlkat0075831d ago (Edited 5831d ago )

well we all know some PS3 are not bought for games, that's 1 answer and the rest, for something that is Free, I'm not sure. Regardless, the sh^t is Free, the numbers should be way higher, if you ask me.

The online community has not clicked yet for sony.(work in progress) Watch an explosion, when in-game xmb functions arrive. Still the Ps3's do not come with headsets. How many actually go out and buy one?

Compared to XBL given the years it took XBL to mature. Gamers don't mind paying for it. Imagine if XBL was free(would be nice), we would expect bigger numbers.

Personally Until PSN does "*everything" XBL does while being "Free" it will continue to be limited. Then you run at the other issue I hate, with 3rd-party doing their own network multi-player solutions, while 1st-party gets to freeload of Sony's back.

Consistency is the keyword here. That you will not see with every developer, unlike XBL. I use both and Sony should get he ball rollin.

TresTrendu5831d ago (Edited 5831d ago )

That's pretty sad when your service is free and you still can't get people online. BTW xbox done those numbers last gen.

_____________________________ ______________________________
As sony say's next gen doesn't start until they say, or at
least until i buy some HDcable's.

Denges5831d ago

u sure are ignorant..

did u even read the title.. North America..

all those bubbles must be in ur brain...

jollygoodchap85831d ago

Not the world...

God...do you guys even read anymore? Or does your thick fanboy goggles black out certain words for "your" consoles benefit?...idiots

Btw how many sold in NA?...close to 5 mil? Thats more than half logging on...think about that.

Amanosenpai5831d ago

Only 9.5 % of the world population have internet...

Only .20 % of the world population have a PS3...

Do the maths LOL

whoelse5831d ago

According to VGChartz, nearly 5 million PS3s have been sold in North America. 3.2 of those owners have signed up to PSN. I think Sony needs to change the account signup and management system so its slicker and not using the web browser.

Sez 5831d ago

you would think with psn being free they would have more registered players. where as the 360 has over 10 million free and paying ppl. i guess more people enjoy playing on live than they do on psn.

Jamaicangmr5831d ago

This number is for "North America" i think i read somewhere that the total number is over 8 million worldwide.

mightydog015831d ago

I used to have a 360 and im still class as im on live when im not so them 10 million they claim dont mean a thing...And psn is free so good for me cause i can play games online and 360 have to pay to play games online.......

ravinshield5830d ago

that trash is free and yet people dont use that garbage

Ace Ventura5831d ago

Sony just said YESTERDAY there were now 8 million PSN users worldwide...wheres the link??? Where did this come from? I can show you a link from Yesterday with Kaz Harai saying there are now 8 million users. This is lame. There OBVIOUSLY aren't only 3 million users on PSN worldwide.

Montrealien5831d ago (Edited 5831d ago )

wait a minute, do we have to wait from an official statement from a crazy fanboy character from this site? Or wait till sony says this themselves? oh wait...

PSN is a great idea, but they need to advertise it more and make it easier to use, in game XMB being the biggest flaw atm. I hardly play online with my PS3 because it is a pain when compared to LIVE. Only a fanboy will deny this.

edit: "3.2 million registered users in North America"

juuken5831d ago

I think it's North America alone.

Ace Ventura5831d ago

See I told you. lol MontrealiXbot got angry.

Shadow Flare5831d ago

Sony really need to advertise the psn more. Theres alot of people who have ps3's that just don't care about playing online. And its a shame cos they're missing out on psn games and other content. And Warhawk!?! Thats almost criminal

ravinash5831d ago

They need to advertise the free network more.
My friend (whos a bit of a cheap scape) was asking how much it cost to go on the network....it took me a while to convince him that yes, it is free.

paul_war5831d ago

It's free people, come online join the fun.

Sayai jin5831d ago (Edited 5831d ago )

I agree it is fun and free. Really Great deal, but it's really odd why more people are not signed on to it.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis11h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast10h ago

It's worth a play through today.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 6h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 7h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 5h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast10h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 3h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast10h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon23h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast10h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon1h ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake4h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast2h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
