At first glance SCEA's brag that "Last week, PlayStation Home took a huge step forward in connecting gamers to their favorite PlayStation titles by bringing the E3 experience directly to their PlayStation 3 consoles via our virtual E3 Booth. We wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you..." looks good.
But then the official US blog breaks out some numbers.
How many people visited the Sony E3 booth from their own front room via Home (without having to travel to Los Angeles?)
"...nearly (a) quarter of a million gamers that have visited the booth since we launched it last Tuesday. In the first day alone we had over 60,000 visitors (compare that to the 46,500 real world attendees — more people visited the PlayStation Home E3 Booth in one day than did the Los Angeles Convention Center for the E3 festivities last week!)"
That's right, "nearly (a) quarter of a million gamers" visited the booth in eight days.
"Needless to say, the virtual E3 Booth event space has been a tremendous success", brags SCEA before stating that. "And we have you, the 14 million users that make up the illustrious PlayStation Home community, to thank for that."
So, from 14 million PlayStation Home 'community members' less than one quarter of a million launched Home on the PS3 and went to the Sony booth.

I think this is due to the fact it wasn't well advertised to the PS3 users. I only realised because I was streaming E3 on my laptop. I live in the UK and we never get told anything from Playstation until it's already happened
