Obviously they're both trying to make a profit but their approaches are different. MS believes they do it by being cold and calculative and maximizing profits at every single turn where possible whereas Sony believe they do it by making their customers happy.

Charging for online play is a great example of how Sony is concernend only with making customers happy.

I seem to be a little late on this, having been using my laptop which doesn't show the VGChartz Buddy properly. That said, the thing is that Sony seems to think it won't be an issue and to be honest, how many complaints about online play have you seen thus far? I haven't seen very many, which definitely hints at gamers not being too unhappy about it. Personally I'm not happy with it but that's just my opinion and unlike MS, Sony's subcription model doesn't scream 'MILKING!!!' all the time because online play is pretty much the only thing Sony has behind a pay wall. MS has a lot more.

First of all you're changing the subject. The fact is Sony is charging for online play to because they see MS making a fuck ton of money on Live and want in on that. Sony made a pretty big decision based on profit, not making consumers happy.

I said for years that Sony will eventually charge for online play and that's when the complaints about Xbox Live fees will stop. It will become a discussion of which service is the better value.

You're right, not many people complaining because their favorite company is now doing it. The people who said free online play should be included with the purchase of the game are mostly silent. Funny how that works.
