The Sony PlayStation Network is about to surpass 8 million downloads Sony has said, and more then 52 million downloads from the online store since its launch. The number of online accounts is growing rapidly and much more expansion is predicted in the near future. Currently North America holds more than 3 million user accounts on the PlayStation Network.
Coming off a great holiday sales season we see strong momentum behind PS3 in 2008, and feel confident about the year ahead... we have Blu-ray emerging as the de facto high def standard, the developer community is hitting their stride, consumers are recognizing the tremendous value and innovative services such as PlayStation Home are all in the works, so this is definitely shaping up to be a breakthrough year for us." Stated Jack Tretton, Chief of Sony US
