Most people wouldn't if Microsoft let them just use the multiplayer and subscriptions they already pay for and bar off everything else. There is no service in those things. There needs to be a clear difference between Silver and Gold. Publishers and Netflix, Hulu offerings are coming from elsewhere.

That makes no sense, thats like saying don't buy an Xbox 360. LOL There is no choice in the matter with Microsoft.
|
MS doesn't hide the fact that they charge for gold. The choice to pay for live shouild be made before the console is bought. People who dont want to pay for it should buy a ps3 or wii or pc. For those do not care and that like the 360 the 360 is their choice than. Ms is not forcing people into anything. its all about choice.
|
PSN has true choice, Do you like the games? Ok buy the swystem. Do you want perks or just normal online? Everything else you pay for. Microsoft has an ultimatum, where you must pay them then pay for everything else.
|
given the choices though, more people seem to like the MS approach. Dont know what else to tell you. If you dont like how ms does business you dont have to support them. If you happen to like their games though you do have to things their way. I will not be to suprised if Sony charge for online next gen too. As far as i know right now they stiff the devs for the bill and lose money on psn.
|
Its not about what they like, its more about what they've become accustomed to. People accept things as the way it is. Next gen everything can change if Sony makes PSN known to early adopters of the PS4 when they go head to head with the 720. They will be virtually identical. Next E3 Sony and Microsoft will be showing off their next consoles for sure. The dev kits were leaked and Activision spilled the beans.

Your assuming that MS will not have a lot to add to xbox live when they release a new concole. I think they will have plenty to add to it to again be ahead of psn. I think they will be able to do this due to the fact that their online service is a profitable business so it gives more money to reinvest in live, where psn has to take that money from somewhere else. We will see when the next consoles launch what differences there aree and again we will have the choice to buy a system with free online or to buy a xbox.
