I have decided not to get an X360 just because of them charging for online play. On the other hand, I've decided to get a Vita and a PS3 last November just because of PS+. I see huge value in PS+, just this month I saved approx. 12 Euro on the price of Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. The discounts themselves are worth more than the price of PS+ and I get so many awesome games on top of that, many of which I'd never buy.
So if Sony decides that you must have PS+ to play online - I won't care, as I love it. As long as the formula remains the same, I'm fine. If MS continues with the current Live formula - no way I'm going to buy their next console.
As for Wii U - it's not going to replace a console from Sony/MS or PC for me. I'm gonna get it once they drop the price to play some of the unique games.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
