Nope.
Xbox Live down intermittently for Xbox One, 360 owners
The alleged hacker group that took credit for the attack on PSN is also claiming responsibility for today's Xbox Live issues.

Sony is being attacked because they have something setup incorrectly. Several other gaming servers have also been hit recently. Some hacker groups like to exploit those vulnerabilities and then announce them to the world. Once they are announced, the target has no choice but the spend money fixing their network to patch the holes. It's a way of forcing big companies to spend money that they wouldn't on their own to harden their systems.
Sony is being attacked downstream. So, it doesn't look like it's their servers but routers down the line from them. Routers they don't control. They might be getting attacked because they have a single line of failure. I can only guess.
Microsoft is actually extremely good at fixing vulnerabilities. Nobody in the world has had the experiences they have when it comes to hackers trying to find holes. So, they have actually become some of the best in the world at it.
They actually DDoS my company (Charter) as well, and Blizzard, and a few other companies.
