You know I still ask the question, why did Microsoft have the best online experience?
Fast downloads, Great connection speeds, a robust voice chat system and everything. Sony and Nintendo could never compete with it.
Perhaps its because that money people paid for online went to providing more server support, bandwidth, and infrastrucute to have a quality online experience. Look I don't want to spend money to play online, but Microsoft provided a reasonable priced high quality service. Sometimes that is worth paying for.
