Machiavellian on 24 December 2010
To throw some reality into the mix, I doubt Sony did not charge for PSN because they care so much about gamers then the fact that going from free to paid would be sucuide. It's much easier from MS to go from charging something they have charged since the Xbox to not charging then for a service to go from not charging to charging.
Also you have to think that all the services that Sony offer, they are still in the red while MS will be making over a billion on their service. Bleeding like Sony has on hardware and services definitely cramp the things they can do and if PS plus do not continue to grow, could be a problem for Sony and PSN future.
