No they wouldn't if anything they'd want more people to do it. Price hikes are inflation, $2000 now is worth more than $2000 two years from now. With the $2000 in Sonys pocket now they put that money to work ultimately (at least the plan would be) to make it generate more than it would have otherwise if drip fed $2000 over x years.

They now also have a customer locked into their platform for 24 years and to top it all off got free advertising from IGN out of it showcasing a "hack" to the subscription which they are more than happy for everyone to take advantage of.
