What Has Sony Introduced to the Online Space That They Haven't Copied From MS?

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="KittenWishes"]Wii, PC, etc.Sollet

Has Xbox Live introduced anything that wasn't on PC first in some shape or form? Plus PSN is free :|

Xbox LIVE has been a service since 2002, so Sony has had 8 years to improve/surpass Xbox LIVE yet year after year all they do is play follow the leader and wait for Microsoft to innovate the online space. I can't think of a single innovation Sony has made, in fact, there are still features the PSN lacks or have just recently added.

Clearly the OP is too young to remember that the Playstation went online long before the Xbox did.

And of course, the OP credits online "innovation" to the Xbox instead of the PC, where it really all began.

Sad, really, but it's about what I'd expect from an uninformed fanboy.

The only thing there is to thank MS for is killing offline multiplayer...Thanks jerks.

PS2 had online before Xbox. The PS2 network adapter was released in Japan in July 2001 and North America in August 2002. Xbox Live didn't launch until November 2002. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 was one of the first PS2 network games and it came out in late 2001. Unreal Championship was one of the first XBL games and didn't come out till late 2002.

[QUOTE="KittenWishes"] PC is not a console. PS1 went online? Really? First Online console i can recall is the Famicom in Japan. Genesis/Mega Drive also used a phone connection to play online, as did the Sega Saturn. Dreamcast was the first console to offer online as a console standard.brennan7777

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="KittenWishes"] It was an add-on and it was pathetic. PS2 didn't have Online-as-standard like the Dreamcast and Xbox did until October 2004, when the Slim launched.KittenWishes

compat with certain 5200 models,adaptors made for 2600.

Do we even care?

What's so weird about MS being very good at developing a fantastic OS witha great online section? Last time I checked, they were the guys developing Windows.

On the other hand, they certainly have nothing on Sony when it comes to hardware design.

damn getting owned that fast, better luck next time tc

Does Microsoft have anything similar to Home?Stevo_the_gamer
