No it is not. To put it as simple as I can, LIVE makes console gaming seamless.To get to where you want to go, to find what you need, to see what your friends are doing in all respects, seamlessly invite people into your game or drop into theirs. Live just makes everything simple and fast. Cross game chat and custom soundtracks (not LIVE but something PSN doesnt have) are nice too. PSN, even now, makes you jump through a obstacle course to do what Live has done since 2005. Sony covers that up by giving you free old games. And wow......you guys love em for that, when it doesnt cost them a thing and you pay them $50. |
So you're saying the aesthetic makes it better. The XMB is probably going to die out next gen but it was more orderly than Xbox Live now. Orderly as in it keeps things in their own quadrant and orderly in the same vein of Facebook vs Myspace. The XMB is quicker to sort through like the blades were on Xbox Live before because they kept tabs on everything. The new Xbox Live is pure aesthetic. Have you seen the new PSN Store? It looks good but just like Xbox Live its all flash and commercialism.
