When a game starts sub and drops quickly it's not good financially (similar problem was had by The Old Republic when they had to shut down servers because they overplanned). Whatever the business model is, it'll stay that way for at least a year - more likely three to five years. Also, whatever the PC business model is, they will use it for the console games. It doesn't make good business sense to have two different business models active for the same game. Odds are (judging by the blazing fail that was Final Fantasy's MMO back on PS2) they will not be sub-based on the console.
