I think Sony still needs to show how their online service will be better than the current iteration of Xbox Live. It will be very difficult to determine how good Sony's service will be until it becomes available.
I worked for Sony back when Microsoft announced the first Xbox.

The end result, as everyone knows, was quite lackluster. Proper planning makes a world of a difference. I doubt Microsoft would make such a mistake.
