Meme image aside. The micro transactions will continue until people are smart enough to go "wow, I do not need to pay £20/$30 for extra things that will add little to nothing to my gaming experience" or until paying that price will actually give you something worth the money. In general, as long as the casuals are perfectly fine with paying £10/$15 to give the new assassin in assassin's creed a wacky outfit because it's so funny or paying to have all unlocks and more in the newest battlefield/COD game, we're not going to be seeing any end to this any time soon.
As ebil as Microsoft may be, Sony are no different and hell even Nintendo are trying to get into the paying more money for things so in a few years I wouldn't be surprised if all three are giving you micro transactions for stuff you really don't need.
