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

Plus on PS4 won't be able to offer free games. They will need to offer a different plan for at least a year.

Why won't the PS4's premium plan offer free games?  From what I am seeing, the plan is to get people to sign up for a subscription and have them access a huge library.  It will be like what you have with Plus now, with needing subscribing to the service to access.  Maybe they get rid of offering content at a reduced price for a premium service.  My distinct feeling is Sony is very much interested in an ongoing revenuee stream.

 Well which free games. What huge libary? It's not going to be backwards compatable. With Gaikai you got alot of mabyes. They would have to let you subscto  to let you play new games right away for that to e part of a subscription.

The idea, as I understood it, was Gaikai was going to be used to enable people to get access to older content.  I wish I could find the exact interview, but  Sony executive expressed an interest in Sony offering its past library of games on demad, via a subscription model.  People pay and get access to older content.  

 They said that's what they want to do that at the conference but kept mentioning that they won't have it ready anytime soon. So it's probably going to be like some other people mentioned like the Vita and not available at launch.
