2) at least it's much better than nothing like on 360. Or is it 'cool' somehow to have no browser ? Is internet useless now ? No, just a browser on a console is pretty useless.

3) there are millions of users who use Home, but yeah it's just starting. Once again, all the 360 ahs to compete are childish Mii ripoffs (avatars)

I don't see how this refutes my claim that the majority of PSN users ignore Home and don't want/need it.

4) 'most FPS are better with 16 players' ah ah nice one. Or even better with 2 like Gears ? Or even 1 ? Oflline I mean. Seriously... Huge scale battles and objectives are only possible in huge scale games, see planetside on PC, Resistance 2 or MAg on PS3. Once again less is better on Live? Okay

Once again, the number of players is not limited by XBL or PSN.  It is a game decision.  And the whole FPS is best with 16 players or less is a majority oppinion.  All you have to do is look at the number of games with lower player numbers and higher sales than the games with higher player numbers.

6) Yes they are from the 01/01/09. Sony made them mandatory. Please tell me which 2009 games don't have trophies or was it a lie ?

Ok so as of this year they are finally mandatory.  Good.  But when trophies first launched until this year many games still did not and do not have trophy support.

7) yeah but you have more downtime, more lag, no blueray, no huge scale battles (64+ players), no web browser, no Home, no Vidzone, plenty of ads everywhere and you pay for that.

I do not have more downtime, nor do I have more lag.  In fact I had more downtime and lag on PSN games when I still had my PS3.  Huge scale battles are not a trait of the network service, don't need a browser on a console with a controller, Home is rather pointless, and really there are no "ads" on the service.  The only ads I see are for XBL games and Xbox 360 games and partnerships for contests and stuff.  All beneficial to me.  And at the same time you don't have HD streaming, don't have unlimited free radio stations, party chat/video, a good matchmaking system, or as large of an on demand library as I do.  Not to mention I will have access to the entire Zune marketplace for video, music, and more

All in all, I'll keep the PSN I guess. So will the majority of us (gamers I mean) apparently since there are apparently more PSN accounts than Live Gold accounts.

There are not more PSN accounts.  The majority of HD gamers choose XBL as well as the Xbox 360.  Sony uses "accounts created" for their figures, which only ads up to being about equal to their PS3 install base when it in fact spans their forums, the PSP, and the PS3.  Not to mention many many people make multiple accounts to take advantage of games like Call of Duty since they are free, or to download regional items on PSN.  XBL has nearly 20 million active accounts on just the Xbox 360 and Windows Live Games.  Active as in used in the last 30 days.  I imagine if Microsoft released the total Xbox Live accounts created it would be nearly 30 million or more and make the number for PSN accounts pale in comparison.
