The PS+ requirement for online multiplayer sucks! I agree. I want them to change back and make it optional. Not sure what I will do in 2015 when my plus runs out.
The bright side, PS4 is a way better option than X1 for a variety of reasons.
1. For your dilemma, I read that you can share a PS+ account on PS4, unlocking online multiplayer for more just one account on your PS4. That means, you and your brother don't both need a PS+ account to play online apparently. Together on seperate consoles, probably, but co-op and taking turns will allow you to use your corresponding PSN accounts.
2. PS+ also has a lot of additional value. Free games, cloud saves, big discounts on the PS Store, and whatever else they plan on adding. They will probably incorporate an Instant Game Collection down the road, and if you get a Vita or PS3 you will get those games too, you can even "purchase" the free games on the PS Store without owning the consoles so when you do you could have a nice collection of titles built up.
3. If you decide not to get PS+ with the PS4 and forgo online multiplayer, you will still be able to access things like Netflix. Online multiplayer is the only pay wall.
4. PS+ is cheaper than XBL, only $50 a year.
I'm going to still flood Social Networks to try and convince them to keep PS+ optional for online multiplayer, have them rely on convincing people to subscribe.
