Oh boy another topic to let people come in and whine about XBox Live pricing.

Honestly can't wait for the PS4 to start charging for online and hear the reactions then.

I have a feeling they won't. They went through a whole generation without charging for it while Microsoft has been charging for it since the first Xbox. For many people, free online was a deciding factor in their PS3 purchase. Charging for their service would alienate their userbase and may cause many people to turn away and just end up hurting playstation.

If Sony starts charging for online gaming, where would Sony fans turn? Their biggest competitor also charges for online gaming. All Sony has to do is be more competitive. It should be noted most console gamers don't play online much or at all.

 

PC, Wii U...mostly PC is my guess

PC is no threat to consoles. Nor do I believe it has ever been. I'm sure you can think of a list of reasons why.

I just can't imagine online gamers are going to flock to Wii U.

Xbox 360 is doing quite well in spite of charging for online play and that's probably because most people don't really care about online gaming. But that fraction of users paying for Xbox Live is a goldmine for MS. I just wouldn't presume charging for online play would be a bad move for Sony bearing in mind there are millions that would pay and not bitch about it.
