My problem with this model is it will inevitably become worse and worse as time goes on. PS+/XBLG are both services that double up as an entry barrier for multiplayer + you get free games(yes I know they are "rentals") and maybe a few more features. As the userbase grows the games are only going to get worse and I believe this because of how PS+ has clearly declined in the quality of games given. Its still one of the best values in gaming if you have 2-3 of the PS family, but its going to be more indys. Nothing wrong with indys, but they are more likely to give away old and unwanted(potentially not very good) indys as PS4 moves closer to the 30-50 million subscriber mark.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
