Sony recently announced that they have 14 million members registered to the Playstation Network. This number matches the numbers Microsoft announced last month at TGS. Of course, numbers like these can’t always be fully accepted as truth. PSN is free, meaning that people are more likely to go ahead and register to play or shop online. It also means that people are probably going to create multiple accounts on one machine. This can lead to inflated numbers. The fact of the matter still remains that PSN is a free service and Xbox Live is not. Being able to support the same number of people as a paid service for free is a testament to Sony.

Sony has definitely made some boneheaded mistakes in the past. The Playstation Network is, for sure, not one of them.
