Well, I must say if this is true and the price isn't too high and PS6 is similar in price, I might actually consider getting an X-Box next gen instead of PS6. I really really hate paid online. All I really want is to play multiplayer with Monster Hunter.

Even better, maybe...there's a tiny infinitesimal chance Sony and Nintendo ditches it just to remain competitive.
~OOC~
Honestly, as much as they will probably charge for it, guessing around $600 for the basic model entry point. And as much as they will make from digital-only game sales, DLC, cosmetics, etc., they shouldn't charge for online multiplayer.
 
Most likely not true but I heard rumors that the system could be close to 1k in price
 
Sony would follow, most likely.
There's no way. This is the same company that told us we'd all happily work more hours at our jobs to be able to afford a PS3, after all 😜

Sony is in the driver's seat in the console market, where they can charge whatever they want for their products or services, knowing full well people will pay their price. Nintendo is in a similar position.

Microsoft is desperate - they're saying and doing anything they can to keep their brand relevant. And, in my opinion, they are failing at that. Spectacularly. Though I do find it a little humorous that the first console maker to charge a monthly subscription to their online services is now also the first one talking about ditching the fees...

(Yes, yes, I know Sega sometimes charged on a per-game basis for some of their Dreamcast titles, but access to the larger SegaNet service was still free. I never paid a dime to play anyone online in NFL 2K1, for example!)

Also, side note: there is no "-" in "Xbox." At least, not anymore! The brand name is simply "Xbox," as one solid word. Similar to how people want to write "eBay" as "e-Bay" - those days are long gone 😇
