When your competitors are free, it becomes a pretty glaring issue. Especially when your main competitor has a cheaper service where you can not only play all games online, cloud saves and the like, but you also get free games every single month.
The fact that you have to justify paying by using MMO's as examples speaks volumes. I'm fine with you paying, just never tell me to accept that price. |
I've got a feeling that once Sony realizes it can't continue on in the game console business by losing money every quarter, that they'll start to shift towards making everyone get a PSN+ subscription. You'll see them start to move features that use to be free over to the paid subscription instead.

When your competitors are making a profit and you are not, it becomes a pretty glaring issue.

Dont overlook Steam with steambox coming very soon. Its free.
I just got Saints row with all Dlc's for $16 on sale limited time only.
*In other words I see Xbox live go free soon enough if you ask me.

Steambox might be cool (does it really exist yet? I've never seen it, or seen specs on it), but there's no way a first gen console will be able to compete with Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony, at least not for a good 5 to 10 years.
People will look at the steambox and say, "I can play steam games on it? How about console games? What about game XYZ, the biggest game of the year that's coming out and isn't being released on steam? What else can it do besides gaming?" Then realize it doesn't have half the features or play half the games a modern console does and will move on.
I'm not trolling, just being realistic.
