I will seriously laugh if online goes pay to play

It's been far too long since we had serious melt downs on vgchartz

Serious question, you think Sony is that stupid?

The probability of that happening is 0%.

They would be stupid not to.

MS is getting away with it amd is getting hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars a year in revenue

Is it stupid? What if Sony captures a large part of the market share? They've built their platform on free online multiplayer. MS is getting away with it for now. If their popularity standing was to change due to other forces (features, timing, pricing, power, services, phenomenon) charging for online multiplayer won't be a very good business model.
