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


I honestly don't know what you're talking about. You leave me clueless. You're the only one who's mixing Xbox Live Silver and Gold as to explain your argument, which they're not, and so we sum it up like this: Silver is the free service, Gold is the paid service. PSN is the free service, PSN+ is the paid service.

 

Silver don't allow you to play online. PSN does.

 

But in Ps4's case, it doesn't, either. You have to resort to the paid service to play online. As you say, no one is forcing you into being PSN+, but you don't play online. Is that simple.


And? Your point is? Multiplayer if any is the only area on console gaming that would call for paid online if there was to be a premium policy for servers and things. Theres a lot of people who game who dont play sports titles or online shooters. F2P should be free on both Xbox Live Silver and PSN. Besides that PSN is still free and Silver is extremely limited, which is why technically it should be phased out. It's not even a tease.
