I'd be willing to pay around the same as this gen i.e. $60/year for Live.
I'm expecting Sony will charge for their service next gen. Possibly a two-tiered system like $30 for the basic service which is currently free and an additional $30 ($60 total) for Playstation Plus with all its discounts and early beta access and what-not. I don't see them leaving it free next gen and just having the optional PS Plus.
Wii U I don't give a crap about because I don't buy Nintendo consoles.
And no, the price for online won't affect my purchase, assuming it isn't a ridiculous difference like $100/year versus $40/year. But a smaller difference like $60/year versus $50/year wouldn't affect my decision.
