A tidbit I noticed during Sony's IFA conference today. Lock if old

not exactly

in 2017 (one year ago) it was 67 million monthly active players on Steam. PSN (all platforms) already had 70 million as of March 2017.
Ah okay, I was confusing this with Steam's total registered users count.

Microsoft uses MAU's: Era: MAU's are stupid, they suck

Sony uses MAU's: Era: WOWWWW thats a lotta Mau's! This is great!
I think it became a joke because once they lost hardware sales to Sony, they started pushing MAUs as the next best thing.

Sony on the other hand...they keep going up even though LIVE was stomping PSN for the longest time. (remember LIVE was the place to play MP back then...things have changed so much)

But do you know why MS uses MAUs?

Combine that with the fact that Sony doesn't hide sales numbers.

But nevermind, all that matters now are hardcore gamerz.

FYI if Sony was losing hardware sales to MS but pushing their MAUs, you'd get the same response MS did during the switcheroo era.

With Sony leading hardware sales and MAUs, its not really something to brag. WW sales are where people may "brag". Not sure why some are getting defensive, pretty clear this isnt all Sony has going for. (MS back then had MAUs to brag about but no longer its sales numbers) Its telling that LIVE got over taken. That wasnt a small feat but guess that will be ignored? It was pretty crazy when that was news back on GAF.
