The problem with this theory is that the PC gamers who rejected live had grown up with free service, to console players it was new- and to them- worthy of cost. 

 

So yeah, if anything console online is just going to go up in price.

You're explaining why they pay, not would have happen if a majority of them started refusing to pay.

And caiming all 25 million Gold subscribers pay solely out of ignorance is selling most people a bit short.

True, but its not like a majority of them will ever stop paying. 

Not trying to sell them short, but I think its mostly younger kids who grew up with halo and live and think they are the best things ever. To them paying for online is a totally acceptable thing.
