Lol. That's not true. That's your misinformed opinion. I have been playing online multiplayer on PSN for over  a year now. Also have an Xbox and played  lots of Rainbow Six on XBL. Lag happens in both networks from time to time. Oftentimes particular games will have lag. Depends upon who you are playing with, what ping rates they have etc. Bottomline: never found any evidence of higher lag in PSN. You are just saying something you like to believe. Here's something that needs no proof: I never paid a dime for a year of multiplayer gaming bliss on PSN.

All I can say is I was there playing on PSN and yeah its usually worse an dyes the wait is usually longer when waiting for online play - but I guess that could be due to less people playing online on PSN, I.E.  COD MW2- 11.5 million on 360 versus 8 million on PS3 ...on other less selling titles the difference will hurt more when waiting for game setup..  Not to mention the lack of features on PSN..  ESPN hits XB Live in Nov.. when will PSN get it if they do ?  Netflix didnt hit PS3 till a year after XB Live and XB Live had it built in... PS3 had to use a Disc when they got it.. did they ever fix that ?

Also something to consider, the number of servers on PSN may not be proportionate to load in some cities.. so while it could be comparable in your area to Live, what about big cities like NYC where my brother lives? PSN is consistantly more laggy there then XB Live..

I live near NYC (50 miles) lag never was a problem for me. I think you admit yourself that longer wait times is due to less people buying the game and has nothing to do with PSN. Though let me tell you in my years of online MP with killzone 2 and bad company 2, wait times were never a problem. Killzone 2 has dedicated servers so u can just walk into any room. BFBC2 takes 30 seconds tops to find a game.

I don't care about ESPN on my gaming console, I have cable for that. Don't talk about the past, PSN has Netflix now for over a year. Ya and the fact that you mention using a disk for Netflix like it is some sorta bug is hilarious.

To summarize, PSN gives me everything as a hard core multiplayer oriented gamer without paying a dime.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion. Its fine that you prefer Live, just don't make up bullshit about lag and server count on PSN coz its clear you have no idea what you are talking about, no offence.
