Well sony do sell software on PSN don't they ? which will at the very least cover the costs of PSN .

So the answer i believe is nothing.

LOL. PSN doesn't even have software and an install base comparable to XBL so I doubt they are not losing out on it. Including HOME and I bet they are losing a lot of money. Looks like MS are the smarts ones and cashing in big time and we can see the effects(timed exclusives, DLC GTA4)

 

Your post really doesn't deserve a response but i'm a nice person so i will anyway. Mr PIMP your not going to last long on this site , i'm guessing you'll be banned before post 30.

but he is right about this.

 

 

Not really he isnt. First the install base, there are about 12 million live users compared to about 10 million PSN users, I'd say thats comparable. Also the software for PSN is constantly being added onto but ill give him this one that obviously live has more content, its been out 14 months longer. As for the buying of timed exclusives and the GTA 4, we are yet to see just how "smart" microsoft was for these moves. Especially the dlc for gta4.

 

 well... that's a little misleading. You can't tell how many of those players spend any money on the psn service, whereas how many number of people pay for the xbox live service And pay for games and extra content. And also the ads in the xbox live marketplace brings in more money.

 

Yeah, I don't know if GTA4 content will make that big of a splash either.
