Last night Sony held a PSN conference where the company released a re-rollout plan for the PlayStation Network which has been down for the past week following a successful hacking attempt which managed to circumvent Sony’s security systems, and gain access to 77 million PSN users’ personal information, including credit card details.
Following Sony’s press conference, the company released a spreadsheet breakdown of PlayStation Network users per region.
The following nations have over 1 million PSN users:
USA 31,140,307
Great Britain 9,296,317
Japan 7,427,038
France 4,701,424
Canada 3,524,227
Germany 3,233,800
Spain 2,982,592
Australia 1,560,791
Italy 1,473,187
Netherlands 1,135,134
While we are nowhere near these major nations, South Africa has an impressive 102,443 PSN accounts, which is more than Romania, Slovenia, Thailand, Ukraine, Qatar, Peru, Malta, Malaysia, Luxembourg, Lebanon, Kuwait, Israel, Indonesia, India, Iceland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Croatia, Columbia, Chile, Bulgaria and Bahrain.
South Africa’s PSN install base puts us in the same league as countries such as Argentina (101,269), Columbia (93,246), Czech Republic (90,878), India (89,258), Kuwait (93,453) and Malaysia (88,999).
This number makes South Africa the PSN’s 33rd largest region out of a total of 59 countries.

Strangely, the entire list is in alphabetical order, except South Africa, which is at the very end.
