I'm just curious about which system has more people playing online.

I have Call of Duty 4 on the 360 and you never have to wait more than a a couple seconds to join a match - a friend of mine has it for the PS3 and has to wait like 5 minutes for a match. I think there is probably a problem with his internet connection or something but maybe less people are playing it on the PS3?

Thanks for any info.

I'd be very surprised if there were more people on the PS3 playing online than the 360.

Thats a tough question. But I'll say 360 has the advantage over the PS3. ;)

Ps3 has each member that owns a console, remember, they don't have to pay for online AND Cable ;) But yes the 360 has more online, though i've not had a problem finding any matches online on PSN only for select minor titles like Go! Puzzle and Gripshift.

This is not a question of who has the better online this is a question of who has the most gamers online. The answer is obviously X-box. Most playstation guys I know have neverplayed online on before.

The PS3 matchmaking problems in COD4 aren't because of the lack of members. It's because Infinity Ward under-estimated their server capacity, and because not everyone has the required ports forwarded on their router. The incoming patch will fix all the problems - tell your friend to remain patient.

7 million overall memebers, not 7 million gold members. I'd bet a large chunk of that would be silver members with no access to multiplayer games.

Neither. The PC has the most online players. So there.

Xbox Live has around 8million registered users, the PS3 hasn't sold that many consoles... which do you think will have more people playing online?

360 has more active online accounts then the ps3 has consoles sold. So with that in mind the answer is 360 hand's down.

On a side note, Halo 3 alone typically has almost 1 million players online in any 24 hour period. While Halo 2 still puts around 100k online each day. You can see those numbers at www.bungie.net.
