I want Microsoft to succeed, I subscribe to Gamepass on PC and think it's a great value.Users may be subject to temporary bans for breaking any of the main subreddit rules, at the sole discretion of the moderators.įollowing Reddiquette is encouraged. Oh yeah! and they are currently working on having Gamepass run via their new web browser Edge Chromium. Recurring revenue is where it's at!Īlso with the Xbox Gamepass app going to be made available on Smart TV's, that gives them one more place users can get into the XBOX universe. Which just so happens seems like a much better business model.
They will win the player base on game subscription service war. That is 100% true, because Microsoft and XBOX don't care about winning the console war. I don't think it's even a question that Sony will win this generation in pure number of console sales 5 years down the road And sure you can say they'll lose casual gamers now (which there is zero evidence of), but later in the year when the new God of War and Horizon games drop and there's more stock of PS5 they'll be back. Microsoft didn't do anything special to make stores have more stock of their consoles, they're just not selling as fast as Sony's. I don't see how you can fault Sony, demand for the PS5 is simply far greater than for the Xbox. Those haptics are the biggest advancement in game controllers since the analog stick IMO
Also if I have the option to play the same game on PS5 or Series X, I take PS5 every time simple due to the controller. So if that means Sony failed, then how did Microsoft do any better? The PS5 only launched with a few games, but the Series X didn't launch with any, and they still haven't launched any Series X exclusives 4 months later. That doesn't sound like anything that will tilt decisions for casual gamers over another system with its own exclusives available at a small fraction of the cost.
So far I've heard controller, and exclusives. Rather than telling me that Sony is the best and can never fail, perhaps explain what specifically it is about Sony that means it will continue to be the leader. I wonder if that is a unique experience, and I suspect not. I liked my PS4, I couldn't get a PS5, I bought an Xbox, and now I don't think I want or need a PS5. It's not only going to be exclusive games, it's going to be cheaper exclusive games. I doubt Gears of War, or Horizon, or, for that matter, Halo, will have as big an impact on console sales as Gamepass, because Gamepass is just that good, and is going to get better and better. This doesn't need to be an emotional conversation. You seem personally threatened by the idea that Sony might lose this generation's sales lead to Xbox.
