i imagine this service will grow at a compounded rate the first few years as word of mouth spreads.
I know there's been a lot of predicting going on in regards to Sony, MS, and Nintendo ultimately going service only but I can't really see it with how the PlayStation is marketed - a central console hub that serves as the one stop multimedia device. With the variety of services that Sony does offer, there really isn't any need to give up a good thing with hardware sales. I feel like this paradigm only promotes brand loyalty and is probably why MS is willing to absorb any loss that the Xbox division brings in.
