As long as it makes money for MS, it should not go away. It is quite simple. |
You could argue that Xbox Live GOLD is at a point where it actually drives consumers to the competition. Years ago when I had very little spending money it meantn those $60 meant the difference between playing online or buying a new game. So unless 14 years old are out there working jobs, I expect the free PSN to be a major selling point for PS4 just as it was for PS3.

I'm no insider..
But if LIVE wasn't worthwhile for MS they would have dropped it by now don't you think?
There are ohter factors that drive sales and those factors seem to account for more sales than they lose with a XBL fee.

Never said LIVE wasn't worthwhile to MS, but even when it isn't it will be hard to change. It's hard for companies to accept changes and move away from traditions. Just ask Sony.

Sorry, i meant LIVE as in the $50/y fee and not the service itself as that is obviously a core MS strategy and they would just get rid of it.
Keep i mind that Sony and Nintendo are both traditional Japanese companies. It's far easier to get a western company to adapt under pressure than it is to get a Japanese company to do the same, as Nintendo and Sony have both proven time after time.
