Inetgrated into online play is going to be streaming of content, and spectator mode, which is a hog on resources. Sony is upping the online play experience. Because of this, I wouldn't go and make a blanket statement they won't charge for online play. If the only other alternative is the Wii U without, and the PS4 dwarfs it specwise where people won't buy it instead, why wouldn't Sony charge for online play, particularly if it is clearly superior? They could charge and even charge less than what Microsoft is. Say it is the new PS+ for $50 a year, with LOTS of value, including the ability to stream and play almost immediately. In short it is worth far more than PS+, which is trumpeted as well worth the money?
