So, when 360 was the only system with acheivement-like points, would it have been unfair to say a game was more fun with acheivements than without?

If so, and it didn't matter, why did Sony add trophies?

An excellent question and one I still don't know the answer to. It's not like the add value.

Honestly, I think both companies did it just to give gamer's a 'reward' for beating games, whereas in the past we'd unlock things.  Sure, some games still do have unlocks, but there's been a big move to make those types of things paid DLC.
