A brief new Xbox One commercial released over the weekend starring NFL’s Marshawn Lynch claims that Xbox Live is “the network that won’t let you down.” A dig at Sony’s PlayStation Network, the video above actually references a recent independent study (at the 0.30 mark) by IHS Markit, which rates Xbox Live above PSN in all aspects except matchmaking.
Back in September, IHS Markit tested both networks for Reliability, Speed, and Overall Quality. The results were as follows:
Reliability

Login to Network ? Xbox Live
Login to Game Server ? Xbox Live
Matchmaking ? PSN
Uninterrupted Play ? Xbox Live
Speed

Login to Network ? Xbox Live
Login to Game Server ? Xbox Live
Matchmaking ? PSN
Time to Upload ? Xbox Live

Overall Quality

Login to Game Server (Speed/Reliability) ? Xbox Live
Matchmaking (Speed/Reliability) ? PSN
Join Party ? Xbox Live
Voice Chat Quality ? Xbox Live
