Consoles will always be less powerful than the PC and games will always have changes made to them to accomodate the lowest common denominator(s). That's where the majority of the money is. So the natural progression of consoles next gen won't fix that. As for free online and backwards compatibility, I only see the latter in the future. Paid online allows for strongers services and more features. While, of course, I'll take things for free, I would never want to go back to the barebones PSN that we saw on the PS3. |
The problem is (at least in my case) that ps4's online isn't working much better than ps3's. I don't know what do they do with the money people pays every month but for now i don't think they are investing it on PSN. Xbox Live on the other hand is pretty much the best online service i have seen (dedicated servers for all X1 games) but still Microsoft could offer it for free considering how big it is.
Also Steam doesn't charge to play online and it offers good online service and good features, i don't see why two giants like Sony and Microsoft can't offer a decent service without a monthly fee (at least playing online, a very basic thing should be free) they could include with plus and gold premium features and the games they give each month, but online playing is a very basic thing and imo is a very greedy thing charging for it.
