I see.

This was the first time in years that I came across an english word that I don't recognise.

So they are saying that PSN is more equal (in terms of equality) than Live?

He means that XBL gives preference to certain publishers/developers in getting their content online faster and that the PSN is more fair about it.

Whether that is true or not, I have no idea.

It's not, well not exactly.  Larger developers have a clear advantage on PSN as Sony charges the developer per MB for consumer downloads (even if they're free) and Sony forces developers to go through product approval and QA individually by region (XBL allows just one submission for worldwide release).  PSN also allows game sharing, which some developers really don't like.

From a developer's perspective, XBL is really the better deal.
