PSN subscription and its effect on PS4 sales

[Railan]

So the other day I was talking with a friend about which console from this gen he was going to buy. He has a PS3 and a lot of games, as well as a PSN subscription that he has been paying for over two years. He said (jokingly) that he is too invested in Sony at this point to think of buying an Xbox. Actually, he is kinda of already getting PS4 games through PSN, even if he doesn't have the PS4 yet.

So I was wondering, how does having the PSN sub affect your decision to buy a PS4 or not?

How likely are you to keep paying your annual fee, even if you're not using it much right now, because you are creating a game library for when you eventually get the PS4?

I think the game system of the PSN sub is very interesting, and would like to know your opinion!

I never actually bought PS+ on PS3 (only had trial versions) but now on PS4 it was a no brainer to buy one year,and as long as my interest in gaming continues,Im happy to keep revewing it.
Even it was just for online MP I would have bought it,sure,Id be a little pissed but the fact that you get free games (on PS3 and PS4,Vita with one sub) is a big bonus and already pay's for itself quickly. Ofcourse you can only play them while you have PS+ but as long as you renew all good. So really the free games are an ongoing rent I guess,depeneding if you continue to have PS+,if you dont,you cant play them anymore.

It didn't affect my decision at all.

I bought a PS4 because i thought it was the better system. It has the better specs, and the better design. It is also $100 cheaper.

Not to mention that i absolutely hate Microsoft as a company, and i was never going to consider buying an Xbox One. The fact that the PS$ is the better system is a bonus.

PSN is only $5 a month. That is chump change. I will gladly pay the fee.
