Sony has greeted Microsoft's announcement this week that Xbox Live now has 350,000 users with scorn. It has issued a counter-statement claiming sales of over 600,000 PS2 network adapters. Sony may have remained aloof throughout Microsoft and Nintendo's ridiculous spat over second place in the console race earlier this year, but it seems that online gaming is a more sensitive point with the market leader, and Microsoft's triumphant announcement has raised hackles in Tokyo and kicked off a round of "mine's bigger than yours" press releases.
