What money? The money it costs to keep ROMs on a server? That's pennies on a dollar compared to AAA game development. Sony is making far more money keeping millions of PS+ subscribers and gamers in its ecosystem than it is hoping to sell a few million copies of games that cost hundreds of millions in development, publishing and advertising. If you want Sony to keep bankrolling more games, you should want this service to stay available for as many subscribers as possible.

The money developers get paid for having their games on plus, that money. If they are not spending the money on Ps3 and Vita games they can spend it elsewhere. Thats my point. 

I see your point. But my question is, why do you think Sony has this tiny, miniscule PS+ budget that only has room in the mini-fridge for so many PS+ titles, and eliminating PS3 and Vita would somehow mean more room in the mini-fridge for PS4? If it wasn't beneficial to Sony, why would Sony still be supporting those platforms four years into PS4, and if it wasn't beneficial to publishers of games on PS+, why would they want their PS3 and Vita games on PS+?

That's like saying Steam should stop supporting Mac and Linux because it would somehow mean more games for PC. I highly doubt it's support of those OSes has no bearing on the number of games released for PC.

It's like saying the Humble Bundle people need to stop doing PC and Mac software bundles and focus only on Steam game bundles because that would mean more money for them, and the indies and publishers that put their games into Humble Bundle don't profit in some way from doing so. Actually, everyone seems to benefit from these. I've read interviews saying as much.
