It's something Sony doesn't necessarily get credit for. We've essentially witnessed Sony draw parity with Microsoft in terms of its networking gaming service, and even exceed it in some areas. Given Microsoft had a headstart, and admittedly pioneered this motion, it's been a pretty impressive achievement from Sony.

You really get the sense that now Sony's essentially finished playing catch-up, it's ready to start leading in the networked products area. This PlayStation Vita trailer outlines all of the new handheld's social features, and it's got a pretty impressive array of options. It bodes well for the inevitable PlayStation 4. The more unified the platform experience is, the better in our opinion.
