It's a perception thing.  Why is the Xbox the only platform charging for online play?  It turns off consumers and prevents consoles from being sold.

Does it? Im sure they have plenty of market research to back them up and its something which could be changed with a flick of a switch essentially.

Research can't change the market.  You can offer filtered water in the middle of the desert for $12.50 a bottle and still suffer if piss flavored water is free right next door.

What market research have you done exactly? They have stuck to these guns for a while now, over 6 years IIRC that online be charged for. If they don't believe its a weakness then why ought we believe its a weakness? They have had about 200 opportunities to change it to a non charge model. At worst it is a weakness but the revenue gained outweighs that weakness and makes it an overall positive for them.
