PlayStation Network by the Numbers

January 12th, 2009, 23:54 Posted By: wraggster

More than two years ago, a little thing known as a PlayStation Network came online. True, it had a rocky start -- an ugly PlayStation Store design, games without voice chat, and so on -- but from that seed, a full-fledged game and video service has grown. Last week at the Consumer Electronics Show, Sony was happy to talk a bit about what has been and will be happening on the network -- the video store is a success and there's an update coming to Life with PlayStation -- but today the company opened the floodgates.

Below is information about PlayStation Home downloads, LittleBigPlanet levels, and more. It's all straight from Sony, and it's all related to you…
