MS is sometimes blinded by its lust for power and total control on its users and partners. I'm sure it's not greedier than almost any other company, the difference is in this power and control thing. Sony, so, this time has been more clever, it saw the problem of forcing double fees, and BTW it plays safe, as it knows many online gamers will pay PSN fee anyway to play other games, but they'll feel better because they won't feel forced to pay for it should they decide to only play online MMOs and free games. In the end Sony will miss just a small percent of potential fees, but it will receive in exchange a good image return, so they can consider this a good and cheap marketing move, just a few millions $/year (on a hundreds million $ yearly online revenue, and in future even billions, and compared to a total marketing budget that's overwhelmingly bigger than this cheap move too) to be considered the good guy.
