No problem what you're saying at all. Sony missed the boat and is trying to swim back to it.
I'm also not saying MS should make online free, as that would make no sense business-wise indeed, but it is the skeleton on which the entire Gold-body is built, so in that regard, steverhcp's comment should be viewed.

Sony is giving the skeleton for free, while probably going to charge for the rings and jewels. MS goes for the "can you see those rings and those jewels? Here, buy for the skeleton and you'll get those for free". It works for them, so good move. Sony will be hoping to scrape more money off the blingbling, even though that could also fail, seeing how people usually mostly want online play, and they got that already. But it's serving their fanbase to keep it free, so I doubt they'll cut into that anytime soon (PS4 - pay2play may be a fact though)
