PSN alone almost generated the same sales than all of Nintendo in 2015

the problem is that when you pay for PS+/XBGold you still have to pay the company providing an Internet Connection lol

If I don't care about the games PS+ offers me, and I'm paying said company for my Internet, why do I have to pay additional money to play online in a game that costed me 60€ and in most cases relies 90% on online ?

 

Because maintenance to servers cost money I guess. Besides PSN and Xlive do outperform the Nintendo network in therms of lag. Especially SSB U is frustrating sometimes Mario Kart 8 on the other hand does a very good job.

I think sales for a good game should be enough to pay for development+online server support for X years+revenue, if a company can't do that then they should just make cheaper games/scrap online in the first place...
