But Sony is putting more resources into PSN than MS is putting into XBL. For example, dedicated servers are unquestionably superior to using someone's xbox to host the games for the following reasons:
(1) Dedicated servers have faster, better connections than most home users
(2) There is no "host advantage" when using a dedicated server -- with the XBL model, hosting games means you have an advantage, especially if your connection is bad.
(3) Because xboxes have to host their own games, you have to have ports open for the incoming connections.
I pay for XBL, but PSN is technically better for this one reasons: dedicated servers. It's just an example of Sony not cheaping out and/or understanding technology better than Microsoft does because dedicated servers are unquestionably superior for the vast majority of game types.
