PlayStation Network Adds 3 Million Post-Hack

Posted September 1, 2011 by M.H. Williams

Remember the PlayStation Network breach earlier this year?  Remember the outrage and indignation?  Well apparently that outrage didn’t translate into anyone leaving the PlayStation Network en masse, as Sony CEO Howard Stringer revealed at IFA 2011 that the service has added 3 million new customers since returning.

"I'm pleased to tell you that the PSN is more secure and better than ever," said Stringer. "We are aggressively expanding its content. We have more than 3 million new customers since the network came back online, and sales are exceeding what we had before the cyberattacks."

"This year, we at Sony have been flooded, we've been flattened, we've been hacked, we've been singed," he continued. "But the summer of our discontent is behind us. The past is a prologue to future possibility.”

PlayStation Network is being folded into the Sony Entertainment Network banner this year, combining all of Sony’s various online services in one place.
