PSN AND SONY ARE JOKES

I went from PS3 to 360 then to PS4 (I do however own an Xbox One as well but Destiny is on Playstation 4). PS3 was horrible with its servers, I remember playing games and always getting disconnected for reasons that were not my own. Despite this, I loved playing it and put something like 27 days on MW2 and then time on other games. Went to 360, paid for live and it was so smooth, no problems. Maintenance was scheduled, they let you know when it was happening and ETAs to coming back up. Made the switch back to Sony and PS4 for friends IRL and the first thing I notice is how bland the main screen is, and how messages take forever to load, (xbox it's instant, same with achievements, and the sweet backgrounds... I mean come on! When you get an achievement you can look at the art work for it and set it as your background) Also the player profile is much more in depth.. For those who care about it. Notice on PS4 how short your "about me" aka description is.. How can I briefly introduce myself in 10 words? It's a joke! You can showcase and customize your profile others see much better on Xbox. I know, some people don't want a "social" console but ignore if you don't like it. Ps4 is slow for some reason, messages and trophies take a while to load. Upwards of many minutes! Even on the app. I usually just text my friends instead. Oh! NOT to mention how poorly sony updates status on its badly structured network. They don't keep us informed, take days longer than Microsoft to keep things running. Its pathetic. I love both consoles but for reasons clear, xbox outperforms Ps4! They are way more involved with their community. Their home menu has news, deals on games, videos and informative items.. PSN? Pft here are 5 backgrounds to choose from.. News on PSN? Nah use google Just my opinion and deep down ps4 owners know it's true. Had my friend not switched without telling me, we'd be on xbox. Not a fanboy, spent equal time on both consoles but these things are facts: [b]XBOX:[/b] [b]o[/b] Xboxs messaging quicker, more reliable and getting in game messages only take up 1/4 of the screen. [b]o[/b] Used profiles more in depth and interactive [b]o[/b] Better and more stable service in Live [b]o[/b] More communicative maintenance team. [b]o[/b] Achievement app very interesting with stats and specific challenges for games. [b]o[/b] You can change your gamertag * I also like how if you turn the Xbox off (if you have setting right) and come back later, click the game you were playing, it will be there from where you were instantly.* [b]PS4:[/b] [b]o[/b] Simpler home screen [b]o[/b] Controller lights up (battery life SUCKS) [b]o[/b] Better specs [b]o[/b] Saving game clips up to 15 minutes [b]o[/b] Cannot change PSN ID.. [spoiler]LAME[/spoiler] These are all small things, except live service. I will continue to use Playstation as Destiny is on there. I just think Xbox has a tighter, more professional output and service. Don't get butt hurt! Just my opinion!! Let me know yours. Edit: Thanks to all of you who understand the points I am making are not to make a "war" but to show you where Xbox outperforms Sony. Those areas would be customizability, communication and response.

  • Both live and PSN have been crap this gen. The only one I've had no problems with is Nintendo Network.

    • You can't really argue against these facts lol he's just being honest. I went from PS1, PS2, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox 360, and now PS4. I do agree, especially on how shîtty our home screen, messaging, and a few other things seem to be. I love the PS4, but you have to admit, that does sûck with some things. I know a few of you have had PSN account forever, and you still can't change your GT, which is just sad. You might have grown up from the rough age of 15 to say 23, and regret your GT. It really sucks how our messages eventually send, but say "97% loading" for the longest time ever lol.

        • Yeah one thing I love about my xbox is the snap app. I can play a game while the wife watches Netflix and vice versa. But I do game more on my ps4 for a few reasons 1. 1080p on most games 2. 15 minute video clips that come out crystal clear 3. Screenshots If ps4 had something like snap I'd probably almost exclusively play the ps4

            Funny how you only looked at ps4 disadvantages and completely disregarded how microsoft screwed up on some aspects, im not hating on xbox, but when evaluating, look at the pros and cons of both consoles.... And your bragging about how short the about me section is on the playstation, its not a dating website, its a game console........ Idiot, u think people care about who you are online? No... And if you put your ps4 on standby, ull instantly load back to where u were on whatever profile you were inspecting since you think ps4 is a social dating club... I also like how you complain about the ps4 home screen and its simplicity, atleast its not a maze where you spend atleast 30 min trying figure out how to get to settings AKA xbone home screen...

            • Actually if you knew anything about anything you would know that PSN has better online service than Xbox live does. The only reason PSN stays off longer during an attack is because Sony works around the clock to upgrade their security. And Microsoft just brings their live up almost instantly because they don't bother upgrading.

              • I have both consoles and loved playing Destiny on my ps4 until just before Christmas when my console decided it didn't want to connect to the Internet anymore..a few days after the warranty was up..I'm devastated as every time I try to play destiny on it I get kicked every five minutes. Bought destiny on xbox one two weeks later and havnt had any problems!

                • I am a long time playstation fan...... But i mostly agree. I was for a monthly psn charge, thinking we would get something like xbl. What we got instead was a shit service that is slow/broken more times than not (messages dont send, everything is slow in the menus, messages wont delete half of the time, etc.) love the system, hate psn+

                    • i have had 360 and then went to ps4 for reasons outside my control xbox live is 10x as useful as psn however, the ps4 seems to be better hardware than the xbox one I also prefer the new ps4 controller to the xbox one controller (after hating the ps3 controller) I would like to go back to xbox when i can but may just end up on sony for this gens cycle as its hard to switch and give up your friends and games' progress

                    • I agree with the messaging, it does suck how slow it is. Noticed that on the switch from 360/ps4. However it has gotten better. After that I dont care, im on the home screen for what, a minute? Then im playing a game or watching tv via sky app etc. Its functional and it works. Never used the profiles so not fussed about the info box either haha

                    • Not sure what's happening with your trophies as mine appear straight away. I agree about the messaging though. No idea why it takes so long for a simple message to send and receive.

                    • I don't see why we even have these wars, both consoles function almost the same. Even the PS4's infamous network service will eventually be on par with the xbox's.

                        I went from PS2 to 360 10 years ago and have never looked back. Bought the Xbone without even hesitating ovr my choice. PS has two deal breakers in my book. A horrible controller (can't believe they haven't fixed that yet) and a shitty network that they rent servers for rather than maintaining there own. Soon is notorious for bad customer servive, not for nothing they are going bankrupt. The PS fanbois who throw system stats around to support their choice crack me up. Your Ferrari may be a lot faster, have better handling, braking and whatever else you want than my FourRunner, but this is the real world and while you are stuck in snowbanks I make my merry way.

                          Obviously messaging and stuff would be faster on the xbox because it was made to be an entertainment system. Services would have to be good on xbox because of what it offers. The ps4 is focused more on games and such. And btw switching to wired stopped almost all the error codes I've been getting using a powerline adapter. I've only gotten 2 error codes in the past 2 months.

                        • I think you mean that Xbox has a better network, system wise ps4 is better.

                          • The deal breaker for me was the constant barrage of ads I'm barely interested in. It's so cluttered with ads I don't know if I have a game console or a billboard bit I agree comm devices worked better, but that's what you get for a paid service. I'm sure pS4 will come together once all that plus money is used to fix their shit, that's how businesses work
