Here is some of the interview.

“I think we were late to offer the platform-level support, to make the online functionality work at that level,” said Yoshida in the latest issue of Edge. “We made the prior decision that you do not introduce the common centralized network names into every experience, so publishers made their own. That was fine at the start, but as more and more games have online functionality you need a unified approach.

So MS took that approach in the last generation and maybe thats where people see the difference when they compare Xbox live and PSN.

the rest is here.

Yeah but will that statement affect customers?

he didnt say it is superior he said ps were late creating an unified system

^^seeing as only one person responded I guess not

but however Sony was late on supporting the PSN, they only really kicked it into high gear about 2 months ago.

Though I believe XBL is better than PSN....he didnt say that at all

Well he was pretty much making excuses for why people like Xbox Live more, honestly I'd rather see those remarks than BS about "redefining" or "truly unique experience", etc.

Yes he did.
He admitted that Sony are playing catch up. I mean c,mon.

yea i suppose

hes right, PSN is = to XBOX1 Live, and PS4 will be XBOX360 - neXtbox Live
