Like what does it have to catch up with? The only two things (that anyone cares about) that Live has that PSN does not is cross-game invites and cross-game chat. That's it. PSN has a video store, it has quality downloadable content, it has in-game messaging, it has 6x video chat, it has better multi-player (ie. larger games and more dedicated servers/less P2P), and in 4 months all new games will have Trophies and custom soundtracks. Also, the only game that is not seamlessly integrated with your PSN account is MGO, and that game has tons of other problems besides that (most of them related to Konami's greed). Also, Live will not be significantly improving (by that I mean adding stuff people will actually use vs. stuff like the "party" thing) in the near future and we know this because MS released the Fall update features. In contrast, we know PSN will be significantly improving in the near future because of Home and it is very likely that cross-game invites and chat will be added before the end of the year.
Now, before you start yelling at me, I'm not saying that the PSN is equal to Live now because it most certainly is not. However, it doesn't have that much farther to go before it is equal to Live and based on what we know about Live's upcoming update, MS isn't doing much to pull away from Sony in this regard.
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
