Playstation network surpassing Xbox Live?

Who would have seen it coming? Xbox Live's supremacy was a given, especially when PS Network launched with widespread doubts over its capabilities - both from consumers who were still sore from PS2's poor online service and from developers who couldn't implement online elements into launch games because Sony hadn't provided them with the tech details.

To be honest it's still a bit behind but it's catching up quick. They REALLY have to make it so that Sony Pictures teams up puts out their movies for sale on the PSstore. Also, it would be really good if they united the store, that would make things much easier. They also have to catch up with their demos, movies, and other content on the store. But, I'm expecting firmware update 2.00 will be really good and the launch of Home will really boost the psn's popularity. Also, another problem is that many people that play the games don't have headsets due to not being able to get them with the PS3's SKU, and seeing as there's no official wireless BlueTooth one that works well with the ps3. They really do need more updates for the store, although they are showing much potential.

I know that, it even has "exclusive ps3 colors". But still, many people are reporting problems even with that one, while with the 360 it's almost always gonna work for the wired, although it's very frail.I've heard of a few problems with the wireless, but all the BT headsets have more questions asked when used with the ps3.
