MCV Staff 27th January 2011 Business News

Almost 70m PlayStation Network accounts have been registered worldwide since the service launched.

Speaking at the PSP2 reveal press conference this morning, SCE president and CEO Kaz Hirai said that over 69m accounts had been opened before January 25th.

He also revealed that over 80 per cent of all PS3s are connected to the internet, as reported by Eurogamer.

PS3 has won its place as the centre of the living room,” Hirai said.

The 69m PSN figure represents accounts registered across other Sony products including TVs, PS3s and PSPs.

Earlier this month Sony said it had surpassed 60m PSN accounts. It’s worth noting that users are able to register more than one PSN account.
