Now that is massive multiplayer!

4000 players!
It just looks like a tangled mess of ships in space to me but I would love to see something like eve online coming to next gen consoles 

Pretty impressive to get that many people online at once.

I have never played an mmo of any kind, I've resisted any inclination to play the likes of WoW etc, purely because I know what I'm like, and it will likely take over my life.

Even having servers slowed down to handle the demand

for a console MMO try defiance, brilliant game and hours and hours of stuff to do, that boats 10,000 players but I think it just keeps the data of 10,000 people at a time to show when you come across them

when you get to final arkfall of a major version jesus Christ is is slow and laggy because of the 100 or so people shotting and enemies aswell as changing from default skin to there real skin is insane
