Yep. Problem with only increasing new games is the cost they need to pay for the owners of the content.

Which is easily paid off if the sub base is growing as expected. If not, then ya, you gotta either cycle out old content or raise prices.

From what I know these contracts are paid on expected number of people that will play and how much that company would lose in revenue by that person deciding to not buy the game because played for free. So growing base also increases the cost Sony pay for the game to be there. It really is a fine tunning of amount and type of content versus price to have both a good number of subs and profit.
