This is where PS+ will be in 5 years...

  • Introduce PS+ as optional
  • Require PS+ for online play
  • Introduce digital only console
  • Introduce PS+ tiers (with the middle tier being most appealing to the mainstream)
  • Increase pricing, abandon physical games, full market control

The only thing that can stop this happening is either support of physical sales, or additional marketplaces for digital games
