To me, they serve two different needs.

Xbox LIVE provides a stable online multiplayer experience with superior cross-game, chat, and messaging functions. Nintendo Network provides an online community that's far more satisfying on a social, artistic, and creative level.

So, if you want to play games online with people around the world, you want Xbox LIVE, price notwithstanding; if you want to share your experiences, achievements, and ideas with people around the world, you want Nintendo Network.

You forgot about media and gaming features like Xbox Video, Xbox Music and achievements. While yes the online is the best on console, there's way more to love.
