well obviously Live is better, but the PSN isn't nearly as far behind as it could be considering it IS free. Also, it is lightyears ahead of the Xbox1's Live and you're nuts if you think otherwise. Live only became really good when the 360 came out (though it was hell of a lot better than anything else out there even before this). I expect that next gen they will be closer than this gen with Live holding a slight edge. Though I'm not sure about this considering how much better the PSN has gotten in the last couple of months (new features, better layout, TONS more content, etc.)
Also, next gen's PlayStation will be entirely designed while Howard Stringer was the CEO, and he's really big on integrating the various divisions of Sony and building something that is easy to program for and that people will actually buy.
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
