It'll be a good way to prevent the cost of the boxed copies from rising too much by making the core/hardcore gamer pay even more. I have to support this because it doesn't effect me except to benefit me. When you've got 50M development and advertising costs for the next generation, you'd have to sell a lot of copies to make it back and if you don't you need something which rakes in serious cash to make up for that shortcoming. Most of the people complaining would probably pay if they thought the game was good enough.
I also bet the PS4 will have pay to play online as well.
Tease.
