LOL...Xbox Live Gold robs the average gamer who doesn't want online multiplayer from enjoying the free nature of online. The cannot access their non-Xbox Live related subscriptions nor anything. Even though Sony upgraded multiplayer to PSN Plus, PSN by itself is essentially the majority of Xbox Live Gold with Silver combined. You also need to differentiate free games from F2P. Without PSN+ the Games for Gold system would not exist.

Whether or not XBL can be considered "robbing" people is irrelevant. MS found a way to make hundreds of millions of dollars off of something that Sony was losing money on, and Sony realized just how dumb they were being by allowing it to continue. Sony can thank MS for showing them how to make money instead of losing it hand over fist.

If Sony followed Microsoft's lead they would force consumers to pay for the lionshare of PSN and technically PSN+ would not exist.
