Independent study: Xbox Live faster, more reliable than the PlayStation Network

An independent study by analytics firm IHS Markit reports that Xbox Live is “the fastest, most reliable gaming network”, especially in comparison to the PlayStation Network.

As you might expect, Microsoft is elated with the firm’s findings, incorporating results from the July 2016 study into current promotional materials.

The firm has tested the gaming services’ login times, lag, quality of voice chat, outages and more.

Sony has yet to comment on the report. In the meantime, you can read IHS Markit’s full findings here.
