Playstation 2 biggest online game was ever quest, and there was ton of people playing it, i'll agree that xbox had the online use straight away when it launched, but that was after ps2 was online. Also ps3 was free online play at all times, but if you subscribed to playstation plus you got 18 games a year for free. Playstation plus is also 10 dollars cheaper then xbox live. So all in all i would think that Sony treated their player base much nicer the Microsoft ever did. Albeit some of the features that the xbox 1 has are pretty nice, it just does not stand up to the PS4
