Microsoft is always going to have the better service as it is more popular, at the end of the day thats why you play online

Simply saying one service is more popular is sort of a debatable topic.

While certain games (such as CoD) have more people on at a time on Xbox Live versus PSN, the total number of PSN accounts blows Xbox Live away.

There are 77 million PSN accounts, and only 35 million Xbox Live (Gold and Silver) accounts.

Unfortunately, there isn't really enough data to conclusively determine whether one system's online service is more popular (for all we know, the total number of psn users playing online at any given time might be 50% higher than 360 users online across all games)

Yea cause all 77 million of those accounts are active and there all made by 77 million different people. Those 35 million accounts are active memebers on live. I highly doubt there is 35 million active players online. 

Woah, just one second.  How do you know with 100% certainty that those 35 million accounts are active.  You're telling me that nobody out there has multiple Silver accounts, or a Silver and a Gold account?  I know it sounds stupid, but I betcha it exists.  Hell, I'd betcha there are even people out there that have 2 gold accounts.  Why?  I have absolutely no clue, but I'd say the odds are pretty good.
