10 Things Nobody Admits PS3 Did Better Than Xbox 360
10. Free Online Multiplayer
Xbox Live servers and voice-chats might live on in infamy with gamers on the back of their popularity during the seventh generation of console wars, however, there were a number of factors that actually meant it was Sony fans who were getting the real value during this time.
Now, the PlayStation Network on the PS3 was not the most refined system in the world. The loading times and its consistency in general could be infuriating, and there were a few too many hacking stories that surfaced to claim the system was a flawless success. Players at least didn't have to worry about being charged for the pleasure of playing on the PSN.
An Xbox Live Gold membership set Microsoft fans back $60 per year during the console's lifetime, a sizeable jump from the PS3 just to play the small library of exclusives online. There wasn't even any discounts that came with the membership for apps like Hulu or Netflix, meaning going online with an Xbox 360 often came with a hefty bill attached.
To think that one year of Xbox Live equated to a whole game for free (on top of the same ability to play online) for PS3 fans really does cast this whole multiplayer system entry in a different light.
