I know on Xbox Live all my games will have near flawless online performance because Microsoft hosts all the servers used for matchmaking and all the logic on their end for both First Party and Third Party games. The only time MS doesn't host the servers is for dedicated server games, but even then MS hosts the matchmaking and skill tracking services. Just take any CoD in the last 4 years as an example. Play on Xbox Live and have relatively little lag, few disconnects or other network issues. Play on PSN and have every other game be incredibly laggy and disconnects everywhere. Not to mention the competitive/team play is very lacking on PSN since most people do not use microphones. Xbox Live is like the MLG of online services. People pay for it because it is superior in performance to any of the competitors. Microsoft will keep adding value to it. That I have no doubt. I just hope it isn't in the form of some discount program and the occasional free game that I don't have time to play with all my other games I have to begin with. That being said, I still have gotten about 4-5 free games from Xbox Live over the years and several discounts/free points via their rewards program... haha sooo... |
So you really have never experienced a leggy game on Xbox live? Both psn and Xbox live use PvP severs for most of the games where it depends on the player with the best connection. Remember host power in gears 1 and 2?
