Actually it wouldnt make a dent.
Free online multiplayer on PSN is the greatest asset the playstation has versus the Xbox in terms of hardware.
Also, the servers arent nearly as expensive as microsoft has you believe to convince you to pay them for it. The service you get of online gaming for a couple of years is not worthy of a monthly fee. Microsoft should be the one changing it, not the other way around. The costs are minimal.
Seriously, look a the price of skyrim on Xbox live. Its a whooping 70 euros in europe for a digital download. Yes digital download with no physical distribution costs and no 2nd hand sale. You'd think it would be cheaper than normal retail... thats microsoft for you. They literally RAPE you for your money. And thats what they are doing with Xbox live monthly/annual fee.
