Pointless question as Sony already confirmed their online play was free.

Can you point to any solid evidence, out of the mouth of Sony, that their online play will be free for the PS4 and onward?  Please do this.  Post an article or something.  All I found was this one:

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2013/02/22/sony-boss-talks-ps4-pre-owned-the-last-guardian-and-free-online-play/

And this is the quote regarding online play:

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2013/02/22/sony-boss-talks-ps4-pre-owned-the-last-guardian-and-free-online-play/

Will online play remain free? “We totally believe that we want to provide more functionality and more services and more content on the network. And so we are looking at how we are going to structure that. And we are not ready to talk about that.”

Find legtimate news, not rumors.  One place I saw looks like an Italian site speaking of Playstation World, which didn't show up anywhere from Sony yet.

Rewatch the conference when they briefly discuss their online. They specifically said online play would be free. I don't to rewatch the 2hr conference because I don't care that much, but I do remember them saying it.

I watched the conference and I don't remember seeing it.  Please point some clue to where in the conference (timeline) they said that.  As of now, it is unspecified from what I can tell.  I would like to see some specifics, because Googling only turned up an article, not written in English (Google translated it), where Playstation World was mentioned (not confirmed by Sony yet either, but may be coming) and talk of "free online play".

Please don't confuse "free" games or "Free to play" with only play being free.  It is different.

If it was said, no one is making mention of it.
