PS+ is not a smartest thing Sony ever did, it's actually a bad strategy. It's too valuable for the subscription rate gamers pay. Those free games PS+ members get will steal time and essentially cause members to buy less games that aren't discounted.
Also there's this non-beneficial psychology involved, lots of people will hold off from buying new games they have had their eyes on because they are hoping these games will be free on PS+. This is especially true for typical PSN games.
I can only go to myself and attest that it works like this. Being a member I simply refuse to buy anything that's full price on PSN.
All in all PS+ is great for gamers but not great for Sony.
