GamePass
10 Million x 10$ Per Month (it aint)
= 100$ Million
Spiderman PS4
13 Million x 30$ Per Copy (sale price)
= 390$ Million
Why would Sony devalue their games just because Xbox is? Microsoft want to turn the business model into you pay first, you get whatever games they give you.
All this is going to get you is
EA Access
Ubisoft Universe
Activision Box
Rockstar Ticket
2K Kollection
Disney Games +

In the end I dont think Sony cares. They have a profitable PS Now with no first day releases. Its mostly games they cant even sell on the PS4.
Did you really just compare a single games lifetime sales to a single month of a sub service. “You pay first, you get what ever they give you” dafuq is this. You can look up what’s currently offered on GP at any time, in no way is it hidden, not mentioning it’s guaranteed to have the latest and all upcoming 1st party games. Implying Sony doesn’t care is the weakest possible excuse.
You all make no sense because they arent make 10 on each person. You not counting the fact their paying atleast a million per AAA game in there. Sony doesn't just release Spiderman. And they still have PS Now with considerable lower amount of cost per customer since most of their games are old games.
Source on MS paying a million per AAA on GP?
“Sony doesn’t just release Spiderman” and? MS doesn’t just have GP with just its current slate of games.
Lmao. In your rush to defend a service you claim Sony themselves don’t care about, you’ve implied it’s cheaper to run, as it has shitter games on it, yet according to half the SDF in this thread they’re charging as much as ten times the amount as GP? What terribly shit value.
I mean, MS needs a success and from what I understand, GamePass is basically being given away multiple times, right? Revenues are probably really low, but they have no growth and it's probably ok to sacrifice their game sales to see if the subscription service takes off. Lets just see if the service continues to be a success once it's not being given away for free.
Source on low revenues? How can you see them having 10mil+ users as “no growth”? That makes no sense.
If MS quits consoles, goes 3rd party and puts GamePass on Playstation, I'll bite.
Even for a fanboy post that is a weird ass take
Can't believe people are getting so worked up about yet another "Forbes Insider" level piece of sponsored content.
The premise of this *cough* analysis, is that there's a competition to become the "Netflix of Gaming", not at all suspiciously a term MS has used frequently in their marketing, and Sony never has never used despite being the first to market by 3 years.
The article fails to address the fundamental differences between the nature of the services (streaming primarily, versus downloads) and the sacrifices MS has had to make to the rest of the Xbox ecosystem to prop up their offering.
Basically it extracts the one bit of positive news, ignores the many negatives, and creates a narrative where despite a sliding marketshare MS are now the front-runners in gaming...
That's not analysis, that's marketing.
So it’s all shilling? Even if that were true, that doesn’t change the numbers.
Gamepass is the gaming equivalent of "I'll suck your dick for a cheeseburger".
Good to know you’ll suck dick for a dollar.
They can afford it now, but they are not saying they are profiting from it. They have yet to discuss how they plan to recoup the investment and the overall profit margins afterwards.
??? Do Netflix come out every year and tell everyone their plan to recoup their investment? What do you guys gain from these weird sales obsessions. If a service is as good a value as GP is, even if it ends up being unprofitable or unsustainable and stops being offered down the line, what do you guys gain from arguing about it now? I don’t get it. Let the higher ups at the companies worry about it and stop with the constant GP FUD.
oh no it's popular? and i don't use it... that means i'm not doing what is most popular! oh no! ahhh! i'm not doing the thing that most people are doing, so i'm a bad person! oh no! please forgive me! please. i'm sorry. i will try to follow along with what other people are doing instead from now on. i swear! /s
lol like who gives a fuck what is popular or not? hah im not in 3rd grade. i don't have to like Batman because the other kids like Batman.
absurd
The fact you even interpreted the article as some kind of popularity contest slight against you suggests you never made it past third grade.
I honestly don't think it will hold. Especially when PS Now gets in full swing for next gen and their list of titles continue to grow. A lot of these titles get discounted digitally so quick now which evens out over the long haul. The only difference is you own the titles permanently.
Yeah you’re right, cause GP can’t grow their titles list. They’ll just pack up shop cause the meanies on GAF chucked the toys out of the cot cause they dared to offer GP so cheap. Fuckin ludicrous.
Pffft. Just for now. Wait until next gen! PS Now will wipe the floor with gamepass!
That wasn’t fun (or even funny) at all.
