Sony has admitted to being taken aback by the number of customers who jumped back on board PlayStation Network after the service was compromised by hackers in April.
Speaking to MCV, Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE), said that user activity across PSN has proven greater than the company anticipated following the service’s restoration.
"What has surprised us is the willingness of the consumers to re-engage when it came back up," said Ryan. "The level of activity on PlayStation Network since then has exceeded our expectations."
Sony overlord Sir Howard Stringer said last week that the hardware manufacturer had bagged an additional three million PSN accounts since the service went back online.
