Beyond the console war there is the war over who has the most user-generated content released on said consoles. With the big guns of LittleBigPlanet, Buzz, SingStar, and Unreal Tournament 3 leading the charge, Sony is quite proud of their accomplishment.
SingStar is sitting pretty at over 300,000 users as part of its online community, and Buzz has received over 100,000 user created quizzes that have had over seven million plays.

LittleBigPlanet users have created almost 180,000 levels, and played them over 22.4 million times online, according to Sony. Denny has also revealed that Buzz players have created over 100,000 quizzes for the game, which have been played over seven million times.
"I think if you look at Worldwide Studios heritage in Europe, we always - whether it's internally or externally - work on innovative new products," said Denny, in an exclusive interview published today.
"Although we've had the success in the social genre we want to move that on as well, like finding new experiences with LittleBigPlanet and user-generated content. In the console field that's an area we can rightly claim leadership to now. We want to look at more areas of that."
The imminent public launch of Home is another crucial step in Sony's online goals, but Denny, who's responsible for all internal and external development studios for Sony in Europe, wants to continue to push for more online innovation from all products in 2009.

It's great to see this sort of thing community involvement to be fair but it's all kind of meaningless really, when it comes down to prices, exclusives and extensive back catalogues.
