Sony America’s Eric Lempel has revealed that the average PlayStation Network user in the U.S. is roughly 28 years old and falls into the "middle- to higher-income range".
Speaking to during a recent interview, Lempel noted that research has also indicated that the average user is likely to have a wife or girlfriend, according to the top video sales and rentals.
"Right now, [the user base is] primarily male," he said. "The average age is 28 years old, in usually the middle- to higher-income range. They over-index against those with graduate degrees. But it’s expanding.”
"What we’re finding ever since we’ve introduced services like the video download service, we’re getting more of the household on the PlayStation Network.”
"Some of the top rentals and sales on the video side have been content that probably doesn’t appeal exactly to that 28-year-old male. It’s more those movies that are geared toward women."
Lempel also confirmed that PSN currently boasts 12.5 million active accounts in North America, which Sony hopes will increase substantially on the back of PS3 Slim sales.
