PS Plus subscription for 2 consoles?
This may or may not have been answered but i couldn't find the right response to my question.
Right now, my brother has his own PS4 console with his account (primary) which he bought the PS Plus subscription on so he can play online/multiplayer games. Also on this console is my account (sub account) which has been shared under the primary account so i can play online/multiplayer on this account also.
My query is, if i buy my own PS4 console and log into my account (the sub account on my brother's PS4), will i be able to still use PS Plus and play online/multiplayer?

No, Playstation Plus benefits are only granted from a primary account to a sub account locally. While you'd have online access on your brother's PS4, you'd need to purchase your own Playstation Plus subscription in order to have the same access on your own console.

what if my brother logs in on my ps4, set it as the primary ps4, then i log into my account still as the sub account so the first situation is replicated but on my ps4. Then he logs into his account on his ps4 still as the primary account?

@lohboys an account can only have one primary console. You can't have multiple primary consoles.

so there is no way both accounts could play online/multiplayer together on 2 ps4's without both buying PS Plus?
