Dan Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Reports have been flowing in on Twitter today that Xbox Live and PlayStation Network — the online services connecting Microsoft's and Sony's game consoles — are experiencing outages. Occasional downtime is par for the course for both, but Christmas Day is a particularly bad time, just as hundreds of thousands of PlayStation 4s and Xbox Ones are unwrapped and set up. As Polygon reported, a hacker group identifying itself as Lizard Squad had previously promised to take down the services today. The group is taking credit for the outages, but neither Microsoft nor Sony have confirmed the nature of their problems. It's possible that the networks are just straining under the load of the new consoles gifted over the last several hours. Microsoft's Xbox.com isn't currently loading at all; Sony's PSN status page indicates that the service is online, but an earlier tweet indicated that some users were having problems and that engineers were investigating.

AxE Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 The group is taking credit for the outages, but neither Microsoft nor Sony have confirmed the nature of their problems. It's possible that the networks are just straining under the load of the new consoles gifted over the last several hours. I think it is just this, networks are only able to hold so much stress, with the new additions it could be possible. But then again, last year they did not have the issue.
