"Anything can be hacked" ok "The problem is Sony did very little to prevent it" personally i don't know but regardless in terms of xbl what does this mean? you just said anything can be hacked so regardless of what measures they have in place it can be hacked anyway if you really believe what you said "Microsoft wouldn't be down for as long, if it ends up being down more then 2 days" xbl live was down for almost 2 weeks in some areas in 2007 the cause wasn't hacking ( which happens on xbl a lot regardless of what you believe but obviously on a much lesser scale than the psn hack ), it was apparently caused by server strain... which xbl fees are supposed to alleviate http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/ http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/xbox-live-still-up-and-down-ten-days-later/

Um yeah the servers had problems for two weeks and it was on and off, they weren't down. It was no where near the scale of PSN problems, basically your matches were laggy but chat was fine and I had no problems dling anything in those weeks. When PSN was down you could do pretty much nothing.
My point is MS has put in more preventive measures to stop hacking, otherwise lulzsec wouldn't take down Live. Does anyone honestly thing lulzsec didn't touch Microsoft because they love them? Microsoft puts their money towards a more robust online interface as well as server stability, and coming with Gears 3 you'll have dedicated servers. What has Sony done with their "paid" service of Playstation Plus? They give discounted games and free games, but have done nothing to prove their servers will be reliable in the future.
It's just that simple.
