Aside from that, being able to play online IS probably the overwhelmingly biggest reason to own Gold, so even despite a free PSN, there's no negating XBL, since there was always going to be a huge Xbox-fanbase, and those people would flock to XBL, no matter what PSN did though. |
Does PSN have usage report, like what XBL has? From a business standpoint, it makes zero sense for M$ to offer free play...why? Who here works for free...or for room and board? AS XBL was desgin, in M$ cost structure, they are a play-for-online play service, and the system was developed from the ground up, with that concept in mind. That's why you constantly see XBL being first in almost ever area of rolling out new stuff...PSN is three years on, and acutally Sony had the Station for YEARS before XBL, but they are constantly following XBL's lead. Home was suppose to be Sony's flagship idea, but that seems to have stalled a bit...at least from the perspective of not seeing much news about it, like 1-2 years ago.
