MS has a monopoly with XBL, Sony has one with PSN.

Are there any consequences of that? I haven't been privy to any.

Yes, you actually have to pay to play online. Considering LIVE is inferior to regular online and you have to pay for it's a sign of lack of competition.

But you don't have to have XBL or PSN to play games...
