Playstation Network > Xbox Live (Lag Wise)

Playstation Network > Xbox Live ( lag wise )( why is this true?)

- Playstation network has dedicated servers, and MS has failed to make dedicated servers because of one reason : thier cheap. Even after XBL costs a yearly fee (a nonexpensive one, that could add up) 360 users always say "PSN lags" the truth is psn games have a latency just as much as 360 in nonexclusive games, but for ps3 exclusives Sony has Dedicated Servers (the only thing that make games like Resistance 2 online (with 60 players) Or MAG (256 players) work. (warhawk - 40). Killzone 2 online (32) , also has dedicated servers and never lags like games with p2p only. (Halo 3 - 16 players) (Gears 2 - 10 players) (peer 2 peer) Dedicated servers are needed for big games with almost zero lag. They may be more of a hassle fo developers to produce, but even after the xbl fee, MS has made no game on 360 with dedicated servers Im am not saying p2p constantly lags (COD4 & W@W hardly had any), but it is a large DISadvantage from dedicated. (especially for big games)Playstation is also 100% free online with any game. PS i acually wish X360 would start using dedicated, i would then be able to play gears 2 online!

Explaining the difference

P2P - Peer to peer, player 2 player (one lags, we all lag)

360

PS3

Dedicated, all going through one server (and ^^^^ They have to pay for that?)

PS3

PS3 exclusives are amazing when it comes to online, i havent lagged once in any of them

Warhawk actually has 40 players.

for games like killzone 2, its perfect no 360 game can beat it, i've not experienced any lag once yet, no problems whatsoever

I mean its pretty obvious...Resistance 2 60 player, no lag. Warhawk, 40 player (I think) no lag. Gears of War/Halo, 2 of Microsoft's biggest games, both lag.

is deticated anything like dedicated?Nuck81

I would consider this argument in a higher regard if you knew how to spell dedicated.

Edit: There we go! Now I agree with you.

Xbox 360 wins because it has satanic star crossing them. lol and not all 360 games are p2p.

Fact: Lag still happens in any game even if it has decicated servers
Fact: There are some games on xbox live that have decicated servers Left 4 dead is one of them
Fact: Pc has many many many more games with deicated servers than the ps3 does
Fact: Many ps3 games run p2p

Reasoning for lag on xbox live: You are probaly running a bad connection to start with and you then plug in your laptop while in the match and decide to watch some youtube videos you then are in a private chat with 7 other people running wirless and your sister is also on her computer. You then connect up to 7 other players. Your from new york, your best buddy is from calafornia, another guy is from mexico, another from great britain, and then some guys from canada. Your host also has a very bad connection. You end up owning the team and in the middle of the match the host decides to quit thus the game trys to establish a new host thats why you get lag most likely.

If you want to see me play rainbow 6 vegas 2 when ever I host you dont get any notticable lag in the match but no decicated servers. Ill go ahead and take videos of it but then you bash me with a make up video you found on youtube running a lag switch. In the end its not really a big deal and if its that important Go play on a pc which of you cows do

Xbox Live has games with dedicated servers. Less than PSN, yes, but neither service has that many games that run on a dedicated server.

Sony seems to be more supporting of supplying first party games with dedicated servers though, so kudos to them.

Its because 360 there are more people who use the wifi adapter than PS3...:P

1. There are games with dedicated servers on xbox live, Frontlines, shadowrun, L4D, battlefield modern combat, etc...

2. Both PSN and Xbox live use client based networks, not peer to peer for the majority of their games.

[QUOTE="StealthKnife"] true, i just put this up because i am sick of 360 fanboys saying "psn lags" keep paying for xbl for p2p

Only game that has lagged for me is Socom...and that is because lazy ass Slant **** games does not want to fix anything...they are the worst developer I have ever bought a game from. All they do is lie and fail to fix problems by making new problems.

Not all games on PSN have dedicated servers. And there are some XBL games that use them. I just love when people bust their humps just to prove how ignorant they are about certain things.

Sony's first (and some second)party multiplayer games use dedicated servers and they kick ass. ALL OTHER GAMES USE THE SAME METHOD AS XBL.

Both networks can be terribly laggy.

they must watch the matches and just laugh at us

But wait a minute. I have played with people in LittleBigPlanet, and experienced massive lag. There were times when it would take around 20 seconds for all of the movemes I had made to register, and then they all happen really fast. This is an extreme case of lag, is it not? My internet connection was at a hundred percent, but this happens every few games. Is LittleBigPlanet different from other PS3 games?tylergamereview
