Personally, I don't think xbox Live is dying, but I don't see it going as strong for another generation. Live's success partly stemmed from being head and shoulders above the competition, and the competition is starting to catch up.

I mean, I don't even think people anticipated PS+ or PSN being nearly as strong as it is, which will only make it harder to rationalize paying for it next gen. Had PSN or the WiiU been under par, then the decision to pay for the Live service is a no-brainer. But now that people are aware that alternatives exist, it might not be so easy later on.

This post was by no means affirming that xbox live was dying, but that MS is going to have to ratchet up the value in the future, which they are easily capable of.


It is kind of hard to say that when PSN has been well behind in multiplayer this whole generation.  Who knows what happens next gen but xbox is known for multiplayer gaming


Online gaming on PSN is the exact same as Live. There's no differace oh... Except people pay £40 a year for LIve and PSN is free. Also Gold 40million... Lol. Links? 

Last I checked PSN had 100 million active accounts and that was at E3 2010.all who can play online for free. 

If the online gaming is identical (and it is) then what else is there? Live doesn't have any more content then PSN and is PSN users want to pay £40 a year they get full retail games for free..

OT: live is not dying. Not at all. However it's relevance may waver next gen.
