He equated it solely to online gaming lol
Either way, the subscriber count would increase. But by your logic, even from the 36.2 mil subscribers, there will be people who do not care about online gaming.
These numbers really don't mean much.
Case and point, you have called good old mua a Sony Pony on many-a-occasion. Yet I don't have PS+ either. I just get all my games from a retail store or digitally via sales.
Also worth noting there would be a subset (however small) of people who have multiple PS4's in a household, or upgraded to Pro's, who still have a singular PS+ account, and people also share accounts to play games (you and I know this first hand
)
