Well its the truth most of the games they are giving away with PSN+ over the last year have been pure garbage.  Of course  I'm pretty sure your are clueless when it comes to XBox live also, since you are clueless when it comes to politics, history and simple word definitions.

Perhaps you should go back to your walled garden.

Sony created the model by which games with gold follows. If Sony was losing you would see them putting out all the stops on psn plus to gain popularity. Sonys never had the exclusives problem Microsoft has had so they don't have to create distractions with old games to sate a less demanding crowd for diversity and new experiences. If Sony covered their psn plus on par with Microsoft (which isn't entirely necessary right now) this competition beteeen the two would be over.

Weird how you're describing a company not giving a shit because they're leading in sales as if it's a good thing you're proud of.

Sony makes tons of money off of PSN now and sadly it's resulted in no improvements to their network and a substantial drop off in quality of the games they offer. You don't need to beat your chest about it, as a consumer it's not a positive thing for you.

Regardless of the meaning you're attaching to his post, it's still true. Sony is in a position where they don't have to entice people with free AAA games, despite PlayStation gamers demanding it.

Personally, I'm fine with the deep discounts they give every week.  The Plus games are just icing on the cake.

Vasto disagrees.

The typical "salt" response and back to posting more xbox news.

I'm sure Vasto does disagree.  I don't see your point.

lol joke of the year 

Lol, keep laughing... it's selling more than the double every week, haha,

Are you one of those guys that thought that Wii U would eventually dominate then became dissappointed? Don't get me wrong as I think Nintendo are awesome but it seems guys like you are trying to make some sort of come back statement a little too early in the in the game. Counting our chickens too soon perhaps? But then again the statement before you admittedly was not that helpful either. Wait and see I say..



Xbox 360 and Xbox One

Gamertag:  GamertagOz70

Both Steam and PSN have a bigger install base. and they both make more money that XBoxLive.

The worst part is that Microsoft is keeping most of their numbers hidden when it comes to the XBox division, this means that if they released this number its because they believed they were %100 correct.

This is not a lie, this is simply a whole team in the XBox division that doesn't know how to do their job, which pretty much describes this generation for MS.

Yeah you're right that Sony has made a lot of money off of psn plus: however, they could not justify charging their gamers for something they gave for free without an added bonus to sweeten the deal. PSN plus started off small but built up into something great. Even Microsoft had to replace their flawed model of charging gamers simply for online. This was when they were trailing Microsoft and were obviously trying hard and bleeding money. I mean, Sony is still giving away games.... they just happen to be indies. I felt worse about Microsofts lack of new games at the end of the 360 era than something a small as sonys games with gold. Once again... if Sony had a strong psn plus... they would pretty much have Microsoft beaten in almost every business category.

Sony has made a ton of improvements to psn and Microsoft has made many to Xbox live. That's kind of how competition works. Both have sharing and videos social media. I can even sort my games into folders to be more convenient unlike xbox live. It's easier to navigate for sure now that xbox live has everything attached to the side snap wall. sonys similar snap type has all of the necessary elements... that I find to be complimentary. At the end of the day both have grown tremendously. 

 

 



Sony couldn't charge on PS3 because online play had been free for years and that would have caused a big stink with consumers. So instead they opted for an Amazon Prime style membership plan with "free" stuff and discounts/perks for members. They're charging on PS4 and as a result of no longer needing the great "free" games to entice people to get PS+, the games offered have turned to almost entirely indie trash. There's nothing to celebrate there, it's all bad for us as consumers. We get worse games, and now have to pay for online play on a pretty meh network.

And that's the saddest part of all, the network. Seems like nothing has changed since PS3. What you're describing are UI changes, not the network. All this free money off PSN and they're putting none of it back into improving the network. Same latency issues, same horrid download speeds, same shit voice quality. But hey they're leading in sales! No point in me discussing this further here.

PlayStation is investing in itself to make a better experiance available for the customer a lot recently. They can now afford to focus on building a stronger network and have done a way better job lately than what you're lying about it as being.
