That's right. But I expect people to drop off of it in the coming months. People that are on Xbox Live do not feel it's worth it (most of them, well people I know at least) , so Sony would have to show alot to convince people to pay a similar fee. With Wii U going the F2P path with no multiplayer latency (as far as my experience go), I just don't see another gen with prenium fees for online multiplayer. PS+ is fine since it gives great offers on games and more, but please don't make people pay to play! The only case I can see a game asks for subs is Destiny, but I believe it will be an MMO, so there will be updates all the time.
But paying 60$/year to play COD with your friends (reason why theres 40M gold subs, along with Halo), that is just ridiculous.
I don't say it won't happen, but I just find it a bit suicidal if they incorporate it.
And if they don't, I can see alot of MS gamers switching to PS4: if 720 asks for subscription fees...

I disagree (respectively ofcourse).
Most of the people I have met really don't care about the subscription fee at all. They don't mind paying for Live. They put up with it this entire gen I don't see why they would stop all of a sudden. Not to mention in the US it's seen as the "cool" console. The public loves the Xbox brand and truly believes it's the best, whether that's true or not is irrelevant.
Add to the fact that now Acheivment/Trophies are available and people seem less likely to switch now compared to last gens.

Considering only ~20M-25M out of the 75M+ consoles have a Gold account, I would say the majority do care about paying for a subscription fee.

Are those numbers real? I only ask because every single person I have ever met who has a 360 (and there are a lot of them here lol) has live. Obviously I havn't met all 70+ million console owners, but I just wanted to know where those numbers came from :p
