Sony is a very dominant market leader. They are very unlikely to do something like this. Last time they did was when they were not doing so great with PS3 and wanted in on that online subscription money. So they made it optional and provided free games as a result something far superior to the XBL offering at the time. 

Now the tables have turned even more so if anyone is going to bring it in, it will be MS as they are the ones trying to win people back. Sony would probably hold off for a few years if it was successful and might bring it in with the ps5 if they felt it was needed. If there was a big outcry why PS4 was lacking it while XB1 had it sony migh drag their heals a bit before bringing it in next year. 

Hmm, so in other words, if we want the PS to be better, we should actually want it to not succeed.

Well it's a double edged sword. Financially if PS3 did much worse then it did Sony might have packed it in. I'd probably say we should want PS4 to sell aswell as it is but XB1 to also match it in sales so Sony will be looking over their shoulder saying, we need to do better, Currently MS are not challenging Sony so they are not going to be too stressed about copying MS's good ideas.
