SCEA director of network operations Eric Lempel has told Industry Gamers that his company’s Sony Playstation Network is lo longer lagging behind it’s Microsoft rival Xbox Live Arcade, in a recent interview.
Lempel acknowledges that the Microsoft’s digital distribution platform offered many advantages over PlayStation early on, but insists that Sony have now closed the gap on it’s rival, and is now in ‘great shape’ to take the Xbox on head to head.
Lempel says;
“In some cases, I think we’ve got more. In terms of strengths, of course we’re still free, and we’re giving you a lot for free. It’s not just free online gaming, but we’ve got PlayStation Home, which is a massive community and application that’s totally free to use. Our video download service is also a little bit different from theirs in that we sell movies in addition to renting movies. I think there’s a lot we’re doing that in some cases they’re not doing, and I don’t see a lot of things they’re doing that we’re not.”
Do you agree that PSN has as much to offer as XBLA? What is your preference?
