PlayStation Network Users hit 1.3M worldwide

With each new day comes a slew of new statistics. The latest one now comes from Sony‘s camp, with David Karraker recently announcing that more than 1.3 million people have signed up for Sony’s PlayStation Network. 

The numbers are hardly surprising given the PlayStation’s current status as a gaming hub, with additional numbers backing up the announcement. For instance, Karraker also reiterated that close to half the number of people signed up for the PSN is from North America. In addition, more than 3.7 million content downloads have occurred since the PSN’s inception.

We’re pretty sure that the main reason people have been going online and trying out the Network has been because of Folding@Home. It’s the scientific fad that’s really gotten everyone clamoring for people to help out. Otherwise, we’d all be playing games and not downloading stuff while waiting for our cyber-molecules to analyze themselves.
