@Retrasado: Somehow i knew someone was going to say that.
Let's see... First the common mindset that you also have. Everytime the talk is about online, people talk about Live and compare everything to it PSN gets better because it tries to copy Live, it doesn't have this Live feature, so it's worse. What causes that? Let's take Home for example, it's not out yet, but it really isn't getting the credit it deserves outside Sony fanboys, and why it's not getting the credit? Because Live doesn't have "Home".
Which leads us to M$ marketing. If look at Live objectively and consider you have to pay for it, it sucks bad in comparision to WFC and PSN, which are free (it really isn't worth the money).
Then, why look at things the way Live is the standard? Instead of looking, what is missing, you should look what others do better. Now, 360 doesn't even have a web browser, which is ironic, since M$ is the only one of the three that makes ones. Live actually has only one thing above the competition, which is having the excact same standards in every game (and this again is where WFC is in its worst).
Now, back to "comparatively crappy online", which is WiiConnect24, where are all the features from Live and PSN? Why they aren't online 24/7? Why they are not as accessible?
If we look at the next generation when it arrives, you'll notice that online for all consoles will be copied from Nintendo.
