Will PSN and Home pressure Microsoft to make Xbox Live free?

As Home is being ad-supported, there is good likelihood that Sony will be able to keep its promise of offering Home and PSN for free.

Do you think Microsoft will make XBL free as a result?

Why or why not? 

Xbox Live is the only major Money maker for M$(Xbox brand), so I don't see it happening.

They get money from Ad companies to show us ads.

They get money for devs to run their games.

They get money from us to play those games.

The sell us Digital Themes and movies...

It's a cash cow.

Yeah, they make more money from that then Nintendo does from VC.

Yeah i get one ad and thats telling me about new games coming out and thats only when i enter the market place, you sure you got live gold? 

Xbox Live costs $2 billion to run, so very unlikely.AHUGECAT

I don't think the xbox live should be free if we loose out on multiplayer games.  You see games released for both systems but the 360 is the only version that gets multiplayer.

Plus i don't think MS have to worry untill Sony fix the problems with PSN.

They have promised alot of features in Home but only some of the features will be included at the start and hopefully the rest will come later.  Also i have read game developers asking Sony for the tools for Home so they can include it in there games but Sony hasn't got it ready yet which mean it will be some time before you will be using Home and your games together.
