PlayStation Network doing well: at 1.5 million users already
PlayStation Universe reports that at Sony Gamers Day it was announced that over 1.5 million users have created accounts for the still growing PlayStation Network.
It was noted that of the 1.5 million, 775,000 are people from North America. However, it wasn’t made clear if these were for individual a PS3s, as some people could have multiple accounts for differing regions. It was also noted that an impressive 6 million pieces of content have been acquired from the PlayStation Store. Again, it wasn’t provided what ratio of this was free content or paid content.
Lastly, 1.5 million users have logged in a total of 115 million times. This means that there’s an average of 77 log-ins per PS3 owner. That means that there’s either a lot of people on Resistance: Fall of Man multiplayer, or a lot of people really like flOw.
We’d like to include the noted 6 month comparison with Xbox Live, but that’s just flame-bait. Anyhow, with numbers like these, and the promise of Home come fall, and more big multiplayer only games like WarHawk and small casual shooters like Bacterius, things look good for the network.
Oh, and two reasons why this is included in PSP: 1st you can can PS1 games for your PSP on the PSN, and 2nd, we all hope PSN incorporates the PSP more, don’t we?
