Consoles have NOT always been F2P before MMO's. Investigate before posting something like this.
Consoles are the most itemized gaming platform around, in terms of time, players, access, access time and simply a huge monetization list that would span a couple pages, you can then throw recent MMO's on top of that.
consoles have always had to pay for online access since their internet access began, through accounts (every single account costs) and pay by time for shooters/non mmo games., there are quite a few recent articles on the subject and what the console makers did/are going to do, console folks do not like it.
