PS+ will have a much easier time getting subscribers because of the multiplayer than Xbox did because Xbox has been doing it for years. Microsoft took crap for it in the beginning until everyone got used to it, now Sony is doing it. I don't think getting people to buy it now that they have to is that big of a problem.
Also, about thinking every Sony fan has PS+ from looking at the Internet; well it seems like every Microsoft fan has Xbox live when on the Internet when in reality (looking at the numbers from this thread) only about 25 million do, a third of the console base. That's what happens when you try to judge an entire console base from a few hundred people who probably play more games than most. I mean the people on the forums are in the minority as most people don't care enough about games to spend half their free time talking about them. So most here would obviously have the pay wall type services while others don't.
Tl/dr: Don't use Internet forums as a sample to try to judge what an entire console base is like.

It is much easier to force a closed community to pay for a product that is free elsewhere as long as the games are good. This is why Windows Live failed and Xbox Live succeed.
