Here is a question that I don't think I've seen asked. Next gen Sony is most likely going to have their shit together when it comes to online. They're going to have trophies, cross-game chat, user-friendly store, and probably more things that aren't in this gen (so will Live). This gen was the first time Sony attempted to have a central network on their console, while it was MS' second go at it. Predictably, Live is a better service, but they have more experience.
What I'm asking is: That next gen, if PSN and Live offer the same expereince (because Sony will know what they are doing), but PSN is still free, are people still going to stick with paying for Live? |
The better question is, if the Nintendo Network is on par yet is free, what then? Mario go time for everybody? I say let the sheeps be sheeps behind that fence while we point and laugh is good enough for me.

Nintendo Network on par with SEN and Live? I don't see that happening. Nintendo have absolutely no experience in proper online networking/gaming

Nintendo has a long history with online and network gaming dating back to the Famicom. Nintendo's reticence to go full bore behind online has more to do with profitability and less to do with experience. Nintendo has always been about profit and running a free online service in the vein of XBL is not profitable. Sony's situation is a testament to this.
