I assume the person who made this thread does not know how to read. In my opinion XBL is still superior, but the person interviewed here did not say this AT ALL.

well obviously Live is better, but the PSN isn't nearly as far behind as it could be considering it IS free. Also, it is lightyears ahead of the Xbox1's Live and you're nuts if you think otherwise. Live only became really good when the 360 came out (though it was hell of a lot better than anything else out there even before this). I expect that next gen they will be closer than this gen with Live holding a slight edge. Though I'm not sure about this considering how much better the PSN has gotten in the last couple of months (new features, better layout, TONS more content, etc.)

Also, next gen's PlayStation will be entirely designed while Howard Stringer was the CEO, and he's really big on integrating the various divisions of Sony and building something that is easy to program for and that people will actually buy.

Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

That's as close to an acknowledgement that a competitor's produt is better than you can expect. The excerpt certainly acknowledged that XBox1's Live service created the online standard for consoles. And in that respect PSN had to emulate that standard if it wanted to offer a competitive service. However I read nothing in that excerpt to suggest there is an admission by Sony that 360 Live is superior to PSN. If the excerpt is meant to be the big admission then the OP is wrong in their interpretation. If there is another part of the interview where there is a more explicit admission then I suggest you quote that.

This thread is not about whether XBL or PSN is superior, it's a thread about a Sony exec admitting XBL is superior (or not, as it appears to be in fact). So keep it on topic a bit instead of just positng "XBL is superior", or "PSN is just as good now". I've never used Live so I have no idea, so I'll take the majority opinion of people who have used both, which seems to favour XBL.
