Since we are paying yearly for these subscriptions for both console. Both of the company should implement a new SERVER for the paid subscriber so they can have matches like Super Street Fighter 4, or any other Fighting Games, FPS, or any Racing Games etc via PS3 vs Xbox 360.
By doing this. Many people that were hesitant or doesn't like the idea of a paid service would think otherwise. That they can finally battle it out with their favorite console against the competition. I think its a great idea, because I for one would like to pay the service, just to have a more variety of players to battle with. Especially with the other system.
Since its not the server from Sony or Microsoft. Maybe the game developers can work something out with them. Offer them a little bit of something so all 3 company will gained something out of it. That way it would have more people willing to pay for the service.

"It is hard to believe that there would be a time that not only would the Western releases of The Legend of Heroes franchise manage to catch up to the Japanese releases of this incredibly lengthy franchise, but that the game’s that helped kick it off would be getting remade at the very same time. A few months ago we reviewed the fresh remake of Nihon Falcom’s Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and now here we are, visiting the most recent release in a story featuring characters and plot elements spanning all the way from that very first game twenty-two years ago. It’s not often that a video game sequel requires full knowledge of its predecessors, and in many ways The Legend of Heroes tried to do that with Daybreak, but now that everything has gathered together in The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon, players best be ready for the most character packed, lore heavy, game of the franchise since Reverie."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.
Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."
Inti Creates’ vibrant action platformer Majogami will shed its Switch console exclusivity and strike PS5 on 28th May, the Japanese dev has announced.
well.. 90% of PSN aren't paying yearly subscriptions.
And another thing...
Servers for games like SSF4 aren't managed by Sony or MS.
They are done by the respective dev/publisher (or their contractor).
So even though we are (might be) paying Sony/MS, it gives Capcom (SSF4 publisher) NO incentive to put a better servers for people that are paying for PS+ or Gold Live.
