Do people know that PS Now/Gaikai was out before gamepass? why are they saying that they are following Xbox.
technically they began the trend, xbox altered it and pushed marketing hard for a similar service and now Sony is rebranding theirs with a larger push after seeing how successful it could be.
This is the beauty of competition and business strategies, not who copied who.
I feel like a lot of people predicted or expected this to be a thing, they can even add a tier including crunchyroll/funimation
It doesn't make sense explaining it to the Xbox camp.
It's basically an upgrade to PS Now.
You'll still need to stream PS1, 2 & 3 games, especially PS3 games.
When it comes to PS4 games, you'll most likely have and get to download more games from PS Now.
PlayStation is merging both PS+ and PS Now and most likely adding more games. That's what I get from the article, the Xbox camp is just overreacting.
And wasn't there articles about Phill Spencer saying GamePass is sustainable but not profitable?
Releasing a game day one on GamePass can actually lose some revenue and sales.
