What does that mean? Is there some quantifiable value there? I know the matchmaking is generally a smidge faster, and there is cross chat on live, but other than that there really aren't any differences that couldn't be offset. My point is more that last gen, there was Live and Ps2. Live was the only game in the neighborhood. Then in this gen, early psn was slow and disconnects frequent. But now it's gotten to a point where I think the positives like improved speed are offset by ps+ offerings like games and content. What I'm saying is, last gen, and earlier this gen, if you wanted to play online, that creed of xbox being multiplayer was very much true. But now, it isn't, or at least is not much of a contrast as previously. Like, playstation was once 'the king of console gaming', and now competition has increased, so it isn't the case currently, and they need to try harder in the future to regain and retain. It's the same with Live. |
No, PS2 had Socom 2 last gen which was also an online game. And you are correct that it isnt as big of as a gap as early in this gen but it hasn't changed the image of XBL as it has continued to grow. I'm happy for the people who like PSN and all but VGKing was incorrect so I thought I'd say something about it.
As for next gen who knows what will happen. Off of what I know XBL will most likely not be effected too much because it is known for multiplayer and is popular in regions where multiplayer is huge (America). PSN will most likely get cross chat which will help it but they also need to improve there image to americans which it hasn't done.
