Are we really going to convince ourselves now that Sony wouldn't have introduced a subscription at some point? Realistically the only reason Microsoft where the ones to popularise it is because Sony didn't get there first
Meanwhile Nintendo was just waiting in the corner so they didn't have to be the first to try and start charging for their incredibly shitty p2p serverless online service while changing literally nothing
We can at least be relatively sure Nintendo wouldn't have been first because they were so fucking terrified of online consoles that they almost had to be dragged kicking and screaming into it at all
Nostradamus much?
