Asking people to buy for online gaming nowadays is like losing many potential buyers. Not many people are willing to pay for such a basic feature.
If the rumor is true, we'll see the rise of PC gamers for sure..

Hope it false, for the sake of Sony.

IDK aren't here like 40 million gold subscribers on XBL.

No, that number included Silver members, too.  Historically, it has alsways been ~50% of Live members are Gold.  So, at max we are looking t ~20M-25M Gold members.

Now, I know a lot of Xbox fans would love it if Sony started charging for online, as they are the only ones who have to put up with it, but they are going to be disappointed to find that Sony is not charging for online play next gen, either.

Your'e quite the psychic.
