Fellow Sony exec Hirai adds that users have bought $1m worth of goods through PlayStation Home
Howard Stringer, the CEO of Sony, told the audience at the firm’s Consumer Electronics Show presentation in Las Vegas that the combined global userbase for its PS3 and PSP consoles now stands at 61.3 million.
Edge Online also reports that SCE CEO Kaz Hirai added that $1m worth of virtual goods have already been downloaded through PlayStation Home, and that the social networking software has to date been downloaded to 3.4 million PS3s.
The public Beta for PlayStation Home arrived late last year. Yesterday, Red Bull became the first company to release a significant dedicated branded presence within the Home world with the release of its Red Bull Air Race Island.

Wow!!
Crikey! So that's an average of each user spending around 30 Cents. Not bad!
Re: Wow!!
Why did he combine the PS3 and PSP sales figures together?
Re: Re: Wow!!
Probably to make the PS3 look better? Not that that's a bad thing. Just generally that's what companies do.
Re: Re: Re: Wow!!
Because PS3 sales are too low, and he needs to talk big numbers.

"PlayStation Home, and that the social networking software has to date been downloaded to 3.4 million PS3s"
I know people who have downloaded home on multiple accounts. It seems this is a trick Sony keep jumping on to back up their sales numbers. 1 user = 3 accounts = 3 sales in Sony's eyes. What they really mean is that Home has been downloaded to 3.4 million accounts, not PS3's
