Posted May 1, 201312 yr Which is the best console-based gaming network right now? since i dont use any any of them... none for me.
May 1, 201312 yr I don't care for any of them but according to someone reliable on here Xbox live is the best. Edited May 1, 201312 yr by Weiss
May 1, 201312 yr Well I have Xbox Live, but since I don't have a PS3 to experience the PSN, I can't say for certain.
May 1, 201312 yr Playstation Network for me,even though i don't know what i feels like to have an XBox but i think both of them and could be on par with it... Edited May 1, 201312 yr by Hazimie
May 1, 201312 yr I have xbox live. aside from the hefty cost, it's very awesome due to apps and no lag in multi sessions. But I cant continue to pay for xbox, so I may end up getting Ps4 for free online gaming and stuff.
May 1, 201312 yr Playstation Network. Dont have an Xbox, so i cant compare, but at least i dont have to pay to play online.
May 1, 201312 yr I'll say Playstation Network, when it's not getting hacked by people stealing credit card information.
May 1, 201312 yr Well this will be the most controversial poll ever. Though I would have to say Xbox Live. It's the best for playing with friends due to party chats, the servers are stable, the network is very secure (no hackers from anonymous will steal your credit card info) and it's the largest online gaming community, which is pretty impressive because it accomplished this despite being a payed service, which is fine because 5 dollars a month is nothing (price of a new game per year, not bad) and you easily get what you pay for.
May 1, 201312 yr I don't have the Play Station nor Xbox. So none. I know Xbox Live you have to pay a fee so that's a thing.
May 1, 201312 yr Steam...well, once the steam box comes out that is lool But I don't wanna be biased and say Psn cuz I've never used Xbox live, so idk
May 1, 201312 yr Speaking as a huge PS fan, as much as I like and enjoy PSN, Live is simply the better service. Even though the price is really hefty, it just gets more things right than PSN, though I do believe PSN has some aspects that are superior to XBL. As for the Wii, I really don't know what happened there and how it failed so spectacularily. Haven't played Wii U, but I hope it fixed its online.
May 1, 201312 yr Nintendo sucks because it does local multiplayer TO much Xbox live is good , but sucks because you have to pay TO much PSN Is good, but lags sometimes and is mostly known to for getting hack... PSN it is.
May 1, 201312 yr Although PS3 is better, I will hand it to Xbox with their party chat and friend communication.
May 1, 201312 yr Would Wii's virtual console count? If so, that one, otherwise, none since that and the PSP version of PSN are the only ones I've used...
May 1, 201312 yr For social stuff, Xbox Live is the best. But in terms of value, I give it to PSN all the way. Even without PS+ the sales have been excellent and Sony has been better about supporting unique downloadable games. It's still slow and occasionally clunky, but so was the first Xbox Live. As for Nintendo, I can't vouch for the Wii U's Miiverse/Nintendo Network. I'm sure it works fine, but online experiences aren't what I think of when I think of Nintendo.
May 1, 201312 yr I only say PSN because it is currently free. If/when they switch to Play Station Plus and it no longer becomes free, I will see it as the same as Xbox Live. I don't have an Xbox, but my friend does, and Live sounds like it's almost the same thing as PSN.
May 1, 201312 yr I just have a Wii. However, because I have seen it on the internet, the Playstation Network seems to be the most cool!
May 1, 201312 yr I only use the Playstation Network and Nintendo Network and both aren't great. PSN used to be good but I lost any bit of care for it when they went and ruined the Store and shoved Singstar on the XMB. I haven't played online on my PS3 in a very long time. Nintendo's is eh... Mario Kart Wii/7 are really the only games that utilise the Network well. I don't own many games that can be played online over the Wii/3DS or Wii U but I never have had a problem with the games I do own that work with it. The best thing Nintendo did was getting rid of the friend codes for the Wii U. The worst thing was locking your account to the Wii U system. Both have flaws so I cannot pick one. Shame the question was "console-based" otherwise I would have been like, Steam.
May 1, 201312 yr Playstation Network. I've used all three networks, and PS is the best in my opinion. Edited May 1, 201312 yr by ProwerPower
