Does anyone know how many titles are available at the Connect Store?

An old forum thread quoted a Sony exec predicting 10,000 titles when it opened (Links below). It seems like a lot less than 10,000. Under Contemporary fiction there's 25 pages with 20 titles on each page (500 titles). Most categories have far fewer than 25 pages of titles. Doesn't seem to add up. Did Sony make its goal?

Thanks.
