Is it possible for an Xbox360 game to Showcase 256 player online like MAG?

We all know that Sony's PR says that it is only possible on the Ps3 but is there a technical reason for it to be at least easier to accomplish on the Ps3 in comparison to other platforms (aside from the PC of course), MAG for example http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-414494.aspx is going to run on dedicated servers, I can only think of P2P based Multiplayer games having problems with too many players at once but both XBL and PSN have those.

Who cares? With that many people, it doesn't even sound like any fun. It just sounds like a nightmare of people running around in chaos.

It could have 1000 players online it still wouldnt make MAG any good.

they can't even get the Gears 2 MP which was 10 players. how much more if it's 256? besides, if it's in Live it'll be P2P not dedicated servers like they want you to believe. i laugh at people when they said back then that the $50 covers for the dedicated servers that MS will give them. LMAO.

no theres a reason we have to pay for psn and not xbox live...oh wait....nevermind

Wait till you get to play with a team of people who aren't enthusiasts partaking in a beta.

The amount of players has nothing to do with the "power" of the PS3 its all done server side. EDIT: There are PLENTY of games with dedicated servers on 360, EA sports and I believe a lot of EA games have dedicated servers.albi321

What he said.

YES...answer dedicated servers which is the only reason this game was 256 players....Further answer it wasn't really 256 players only one gametype was 256 players the rest were 128, 65...ect

even in 256 player games it was still just 8 vs 8 or 16 v16 half the time with very little interaction between other teams and squads, The game is faux 256 players no matter how you put it.

Of course it is. Dust514 will have 256 players and cross platform online between 360 and PS3.
