He's saying than in XBL there's alrdy tools for devs to use and utlize while in PSN devs has to cr8 it from the ground up but in return they can have more possibilites and freedom in adding stuff?



Xbox live is better than PSN, there's a reason why you have to pay

Basically. So he's not insulting PSN but pointing out the advantages of Live.

Yeh TBH what I gathered from this is that DEVS can actually give the PSN community a lot of things due to their freedom to implement stuff in PSN that they are not allowed to do so in other service.

player hosted servers, mod support, k/m support, play create share, massive online multiplayer games with no lag, dedicated servers

I'd take that over cross game chat any day, just wish 3rd party developers took advantge of it though :/

really interested  to see what gt5 online will be like, I mean If I ever get to playing it, took 1000 hours to beat gt4 100% and that's single player only O_O

As always comments get twisted to mean something entirely different or people dont understand. Yamauchis not comparing psn to xbox live from a customer standpoint but a development standpoint. The infrastructures built in for xbox live, every game gets cross game chat etc.

So cross game chat is why MS charge for online?.

Exactly! I have Tekken 6 on PS3 with a better connection than my friend. When I play someone with an inferior connection the match is cut immediately. At my friends house after the patch for both systems were added and the Xbox Live version makes an effort to save the damned connection. I sat back and thought about how a thing like that ruined my online experience on the PS3.

That is such a variable type of statement.   First of all how is your connection better?  Faster? Better Upstream? Better Downstream?  More stable?   You could have the fastest connection in the world but it's unreliable as hell.   You could have been playing prime time on the PS3 and off peak time on the 360.  There is a lot of variables that will go into that.

Yamuchi is right. I would also like to add that PSN is not a service, but Xbox Live is, which is why even quality can be upheld in the online community. I hate to say it but I actually enjoyed playing Tekken 6 more on Xbox Live than I did on PSN. It's quicker, less loading issues and funny enough while playing at my friends house more people were online actually playing it than PSN. I've played the same people over and over again on PSN. This has never happened to me on Xbox Live (even though I hate the damned controller for fighters). We're speaking of quality online experience here though. PSN is also weaker when it comes to sports titles like NBA 2k10. I really regret buying it on the PS3 because more people are playing on live and communication is just so much easier on live. Sometimes I feel so alone on PSN even with a lot of friends and sometimes I just don't feel in the mood to be bothered by most people on PSN. On Xbox Live this never was the case. God I need to fix my 360 or buy one of the new ones with the Jasper chip!

Back to Yamuchi though. I cannot blame him for taking the major initiative to pumping GT5's online himself beyond a typical PSN standard. This should be an awakening to Sony.

i agree with this i bought nba 2k8 on the ps3 and there were 3 ppl online -_-" i bought rainbow six n there are always about 12 games on with the same ppl playing every week. on xbox live it is a whole other world.

lol ya i usually like to buy multiplatform games more on the ps3 cuz my faith in my 360 is very slim no lie...i just dono when it'll stop workin....but these little things can get very annoyin :/ 


Yeah, but thats console reliability not online. Mine broke as well, but I know the true value of the console just by playing it. It was my first break and I cannot wait to get the Japser model which has a far higher chance of lasting. I agree though, when you fork out the cash these things can get annoying. I didn't get annoyed at my PS3....I got annoyed buying online games for PS3 unless they are exclusive and the devs give special care to the online themselves.

Of course there are variables because listed specific games (Tekken 6 and NBA 2k10). Tekken 6 Definitely has better online on the Xbox 360 which is why my friend never bought it on the PS3 and my nearest two Play N Trades rarely ever play the PS3 version. The gameplay of NBA 2k10 on the PS3 is great, but when online hits its murder. I mean the online was better in 2k9 rather than 2k10 and well thought out as opposed (which isnt saying much), but there is a difference in online response.
