"There are more than 1500 downloadable games currently on the PSN, and an additional 200+ are planned to release over the next 12 months."

This is what Jack Tretton told me last week. I always thought XBLA had more games.


I thought Xbox Live had more games too...  To know that there's barely over 500, is kinda a shock..  hard to believe that number is so low.

I hope you're just making fun of Turkish...

I was totally serious...  But, you know what?  I blame the 2GB limit on XBL titles..  No such thing exists on PSN, and I wish XBL didn't do it, because multiplatform releases, like virtua fighter 5, take hits.

And why is 500 a low number ? or rather, low compared to what ? Steam ? Yeah but that's obvious.

On PSN the developers need to pay the traffic caused by their games for Sony. Don't if MS does the same thing, but might be a reason why there's such a limit.

Well, i rarely find interest in things on PSN.  I imagine it would be worse for 360.  It's hard finding something you like.  I don't use Steam.  I've got about 25 PSN titles, and the only ones I stick with are Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, Wipeout HD, and Sonic CD... the rest...  I play once in a looong while when I'm bored.  It's a real shame.

Except, I do stick to the games for a while when i first buy them..  But, as time goes on, only those games I mentioned, I actively return to.  Not to mention, also...  paying for Xbox live...  For the money, I'd rather buy different things.. be it a game, or a subscription for a more meaningful service.

People talk about how xbox live is better, but, I'd gotten some pretty bad lag on live before.  And, generally, it seems to me that games now lag just as often on each system.  Virtua Fighter and marvel vs. capcom 2 have almost no noticable lag for me..  Especially virtua fighter.

So, if neither service is lagging, and xbox only has 500 games, I'm just not seeing what's supposed to be so great about the service.  The last thing I used it for was to download a virtua fighter 5 demo to get some practice in before final showdown....  Totally useless, on my part.  I thought about getting final showdown for 360, but....  Why would I do that?

Is there a download history that you can go back to on 360?

LOL @ Psn being called as a online service, serious Xbox Live on Xbox 1 was better by miles.

XBLA Quality, Quantitie. Xbox Live over 3000 games if we include indies and on Demand.

Beat than PSN, i mean first have quality.
