Free-to-play titles could become a big focus for Sony in the coming generation.
In a recent interview at a media event, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House says “We may well see free-to-play games on console be a much bigger factor…it will be a big part of the console landscape in this generation.”
Certain developers are also interested in releasing free-to-play games, including Crytek who are changing their whole plan to support a free-to-play game business model. They are also releasing a free-to-play game for the PC called Warface, which you can read more about here.
