UPDATED: Did 1 Million Users Make PlayStation Home in the Last Week?
Plus: new Uncharted 2 and Ratchet & Clank spaces
As it opens up two new spaces in PlayStation Home, Sony has said that the service now has 10 million users. It's odd, given that just a week or so ago Sony said it had nine million.
Speaking on the HipHopGamerShow Jack Buser, Director of Home for SCEA, said "worldwide, we got nine million people in here". That show was posted on December 13th. The press release from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, dated today, refers to "all of the 10 million users".
Either Sony's seen a massive uptake on Home in the last week, someone had old figures, or there's a discrepancy between what Mr Buser and what SCEE consider to be a 'user'...
Anyway, the new spaces are for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time and a MotorStorm space is on the way.
UPDATE: Sony has explained the discrepancy in the figures, telling SPOnG: "These are the latest figures (stating 10m). Until we're ready to announce a new milestone we stick to the old figures." Clear? We thought not.

It makes perfect sense. When they said '9 million' there may well have been 9.9 million but they only announce the 'milestone' figures like 9 million or 10 million. I'm struggling to understand how anyone can be confused by that.

It was announced as 9 million a few months ago. Until they look at their statistics and officially compile a report and press release, they say the figure they last knew.
I doubt they have a huge LED ticker in the office counting up the registered users that they check on an hourly basis.
Makes perfect sense to me.
