SCEA's Rob Dyer has said that he believes PlayStation Network offers an "as good if not better experience" than Xbox Live, and that despite a "slow and cumbersome" start Sony's service continues to go "from strength to strength".
Talking to IndustryGamers, the Senior Vice President of Publisher Relations commented:
"When I first started here at SCEA two years ago, it was slow and cumbersome and we were really struggling to put any kind of a dent into Xbox Live.

It's easier to get stuff up, it's easier to get it promoted and easier to get it to your consumer, versus what you have with Xbox Live.
"We're just going from strength to strength, especially with as many consoles as we're selling; people are hooking it up to the network and they're downloading stuff."
The most recent figures issued by Sony put the amount of registered PSN accounts at over 40million, as opposed to 23million gold members on Xbox Live.
