    Good news that the PSN is growing! With big growth we can expect better updates and better service from Sony.

    Well this pretty much means that 20 million of the 21 million owners are online. There are more PSN users than Xbox Live users at this point, as Microsoft themselves stated that only half of their users pay to play online. (14 million users)

      No it doesn't, stop being silly.

      There are 20 million accounts, not 20 million users. And remember a lot of these are going to be duplicates that never get used or are accounts used solely for downloading from another regions store.

        I can imagine the same situation can be applied to Live as well.

        I doubt there's anywhere near as many unused duplicate accounts.

    Still, some of those accounts would be off the same PS3, and more which are second accounter's.

    Still quite an achievement.

    I never noticed that PS3 was bigger than 360. It must be because of the fact it is free.
