T Culture Comparison XBL, PSN, Wii Net

Comparison of Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and Wii Network
Here is a short comparison of the three major gaming console networks.

Voice Communication

For the ability to communicate with other players Xbox Live is the best. After playing a while on each network I noticed that more people use microphones to talk over Xbox live than any of the other networks so Xbox Live ranks first for voice communication. I did notice that some people use microphones to talk over the PlayStation Network, but there were not nearly as many as there were over Xbox Live, which ranked the PlayStation Network in second place. The Wii network had no one talking over it with microphones when I played on it. Unlike the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in which the majority of the games out for these consoles have voice communication, there are only a few games for the Wii that have voice communication. So the Wii network ranks in last place for voice communication.

Performance and Reliability

I have noticed lots of times when Xbox Live was down or experiencing technical difficulties unlike the other major gaming console networks so obviously Xbox Live ranks worst for reliability. Additionally, I have noticed more lag and connection losses over xbox live than any other gaming console networks so obviously Xbox Live has the worst performance and reliability of the three major gaming networks. There were times when I noticed lag and connection losses over the PlayStation Network but I haven't wxperienced any of that over the Wii network so I would say the Wii network has the best reliability and performance.

Price

Xbox Live has a subscription fee while the Playstation Network and the Wii network are free so Xbox Live is obiously the most expensive out of the three.

Fun

This matters on what you personally like so I can't really say which one is the most fun to play, but I can tell you that in my opinion I find Xbox Live to be the most enjoyable out of the three.

Other Factors

Other factors like the maximum number of players in a game depend on the game you are playing.
