Look, I've defended you in other Sony threads because most of what you've posted I've agreed with, but you clearly understand what a dedicated server is and yet for some reason want to come up with some made up non-classical term to suit Live.

I'm honestly just not really sure what you're disagreeing with! Here is what I am saying:

1. XBox Live IS a dedicated server, in your terminology, for Final Fantasy XI and Phantasy Star Universe.

2. XBox live IS NOT a dedicated server, in your terminology, for other games.

3. XBox Live DOES offer "server facilities in a nonclassical sense" for all other games, in my terminology.

4. XBox Live DOES work as a "matchmaking service" for all other games, in your terminology.
