Services like Netflix doesn't go bankrupt with its cheap prices, why would Sony go bankrupt? Heck, Cable TV doesn't even have the movies that netflix offers on their standard plans

This isn't a netflix type service. It's live TV with catch up and cloud storage. I'm not sure what other cable services charge for those channels in the US but in the UK you can pay up to £60 ($90?) a month for cable, the most expensive being Sky.

Yea but can't you watch those live sports online for free though? I have watched hockey online for free and it was live

You probably can and some sports might be legal to do so. But each country is different. For instance Premier League football in England is only on premium channels while in other countries its not worth as much and might be on free channels. TV/movies hot from filming is of high value while a a year later its not as valuable, Netflix is made up mostly of old movies that's why it's cheap. It you want newer movies and TV you have to watch live TV premium channels or rent for $5+. Or stream illeagally.

Point is, if PS vue offers premium content (live sports, live tv on premium channels, premium channels that show a lot of up to date movies) then you will have to pay for it. If it just offers a lot of free cables channels then not so much. This is not netflix, PS already offer TV/Movie rental far superior to Netflix but it's not PS Vue
