Does Sony really have an interest in "outcheaping" Microsoft as far as online goes?

Microsoft managed to make people pay for something that is free on PCs and suddenly you consider Sony's option the cheap one ?
I guess Microsoft did its marketing really well..

Otherwise I have no issue paying for additional services, but charging people for a service that hardly costs you is pushing it...Online should be free. I'm ok paying for a service that comes with discounted games and other things..

Steam does everything PS+ does and does it for free.

Really?....how so? I don't remember them having a service where you pay to get monthly games given to them instead of paying full price or discounts. They give free to play games regardless but not on that level, only something thats allowed the developer to be free. They give deals themselves, especially at the end of major quarters like summer and fall.
