Xbox Live is faster and more reliable than PSN, Microsoft says

4.5
In a promotional campaign that feels like someone mixed up two sets of cue cards, here’s a study and some famous athletes.

Xbox Live is faster and more reliable than the PlayStation Network, Microsoft has claimed.

The platform holder points to a study by IHS Markit which measured the reliability, speed and overall quality of the two networks across five of the most popular multiplayer titles.

Under the heading of reliability, it’s faster to get from first logging in to your Xbox One console to being online, and from log in to game servers, than an equivalent experience on PS4 according to this study. Part of this conclusion is based on it taking one button press to log into Xbox Live, but two steps for the PSN, which probably depends on how you set up your console, but okay.

More compellingly, the study found Xbox Live out-performed PSN across three metrics – network log in reliability, game server log in reliability and uninterrupted play. PSN out-performed Xbox Live in terms of matchmaking reliability.

In terms of speed, the study looked at lag and latency, matchmaking, game-load times, login service and friend interactions. Again, it ruled Xbox Live was better in all areas bar matchmaking.

Having taken out both sub-categories, Xbox Live unsurprisingly triumphed in terms of overall quality too, with PSN again winning through on matchmaking. It’s worthwhile clicking through to the link above to read the methodology before you get too mad about all this, though.

Get a better connection then. Don't blame MS if you're on 2 down and 0.5 up or something.

I still remember when PSN went down for an entire month back in like 2010/11/12 around there. That was so funny. All the little Sony fanboys raging constantly in school because nothing was being done about it. PSN is trash compared to XBL.

Also heard " PSN free games " are rented aswell. You NEED a subscription to play them else they're not playable. Lelelelele.


psn free games arent rented lol where did you hear that plus you can have a great connection and still not be able to join parties and or lag out of them plus microsoft thinks nobody can hit them off again lol xbox 360 was great but man xboner sucks balls like do they think we are in 2000? or something cause that design is so ugly now a days but hey atleast all the kids play xbox(i ran into alot of 5yos) in party chats not saying xbox is bad just ms thinks their all that same with sony as for the free games again FREE FOR PLUS hmm that sounds like you need plus to play them and you keep them forever and have you ever hear of GAMES FOR GOLD no that only happened cause microsoft wanted to copy sony's free games of the month a few months before the current gen is out no you dont need to gold to play it but you do need gold to get it
