Key Takeaways from PSN Name Statistics

Our analysis of PlayStation Network usernames reveals several important patterns:

• Popularity of Short Names: Despite the 3-16 character limit, short names (3-4 characters) are highly sought after, with over 437,000 registered across the network.
• Regional Differences: The United States and Japan dominate short name ownership, together accounting for over 60% of 3-letter names and 40% of 4-letter names.
• Format Preferences: Lowercase letter combinations are by far the most popular format for both 3-letter and 4-letter names.
• Name Availability: Due to character equivalencies (like A=4, E=3), many seemingly available names are actually unavailable because similar variations are already taken.
• Growth Patterns: The number of 4-letter names (420,837) is about 25 times higher than 3-letter names (16,836), showing that as name length increases by just one character, availability expands dramatically.

These statistics provide valuable insights for PlayStation Network users looking to create or change their Online ID, especially those interested in securing short, memorable usernames.
