No as in Xbox Live has had problems like this before as well. It may have never happened to "YOUR" XBL account but it doesn't mean it hasn't happend. Much like my PSN and game was still signed in when I came home last night. Your using your personal experience to implicate that XBL is better then PSN when it's just your opinion. We all have had issues here at one point or another with a system, well maybe not you since your world is perfect with gummie bears and rainbows. People have had trouble with both PSN and XBL sporadically since the launch. That's what this is, a launch. You bought a PS4 at launch time and it's unacceptable that the service had issues?  Maybe you didn't realize your pretty much a beta tester if you a buy a console at launch..

Regardless, the service is actually back now anyways, so sorry you had to spend your Christmas eve with PSN down for a few hours..

When I got a 360 AT LAUNCH, I did not have to put up with what I had to out up with with PS4. MS didn't have to shut down code redemption in order to keep XBL up. They didn't have to shut down anything. I am NOT biased, so I call it as I see it and since launch, Sony has wet the bed. 

But...to be fair, PS4 is seeing a WAY higher demand than 360 did at launch...

The opening week was like 3:1 and WW it was a massacre. Not to mention that back when 360 launched, not nearly as many used the online as they do today so the ratio of people trying to go online on PS4 was probably at least 5 times greater than at 360's launch.

Xbone had similar numbers and hasn't had to do the things Sony has done just to keep XBL up and running. It may sound like I'm trolling, or just an Xbot, but I OWN a PS4. I feel I'm entitled to be a little discouraged and have my opinion. It's been nothing short of frustrating trying to migrate to PSN. It just isn't nearly as refined. I had a PS3 for awhile, and it feels like the quality is exactly same which is bull because the service is no longer free. I think having to pay to play online is garbage, but if I have to, I expect to get something as reliable as XBL and logging onto my system at 2am, firing up a game, and seeing "PSN is down for maintenance" is NOT my idea of reliable.

I suspect the people who defend this are either

A.) People who have very limited experience with XBL and/or never used it

B.) Sony fanboys

or

C.) EXTREMELY easy going people who don't get upset about anything

Otherwise, it's just, not excusable imo. But that's just me.
