PlayStation Networks adds 3 million new users

After Sony suffered a major blow to their PlayStation Network earlier this year, it seems as though things has started to return to normal. The company announced that three million new PlayStation Network accounts were created since they came back online.

“I’m pleased to tell you that the PSN is more secure and better than ever. We are aggressively expanding its content. We have more than three million new customers since the network came back online, and sales are exceeding what we had before the cyber attacks,” CEO Howard Stringer told delegates IFA electronics show in Berlin.

Stringer went on to say that the company learnt a lot from their experience, and that they are looking to the future. “This year, we at Sony have been flooded, we’ve been flattened, we’ve been hacked, and we’ve been singed. But the summer of our discontent is behind us. The past is a prologue to future possibility.”
