What else do the Big 3 need for next gen consoles to get strong initial sales?

Sony needs to launch the PS4 that will make the sales of it exploded.

The games already announced to launch will help even more and the games announced in E3 will just make the PS4 the most sexy machine in the market.

So, if the games announced for PS4 are enough, how come the launch games for PS3 wen't enough? Are Killzone and InFamous >>>> Resistance and Motorstorm?

XBL Gold also needs to be changed, there needs to be different levels of XBL. Change Gold to platinum, and make a new gold for gamers who play games stagardly. Don't punish gamers who only play online frequently for 3 months a year, and ocassionally for the other 9 months. Maybe make a pay as you play card, charging $0.10 per hour played, so people who play <10 hours a month only pay <$1. 

This is the best idea I've heard for online.  One question though.  Can they track if you're actually playing online or just connected?  Cause I hardly ever play online MP but I do access the store and apps a lot.  This idea is great because then those who are incurring the cost of maintaining servers and security are the ones paying more.  PS could implement this if they don't want to take a hit online next gen.

Where there is a will, there is a way. When you access multiplayer the system scans if you have XBLG, that could be the point where they start the clock, and when you exit multiplayer mode, they stop it.

Microsoft won't do this, and this is why I hate XBL. Some months I don't go on at all, or maybe go on for an hour, yet it's still $5!
