So Xbox recently posted 15 million subs to their netflix style subscription dubbed Game Pass. These are seriously high numbers and really helps Microsoft push forward with their focus on a streaming/digital games future. Where you don't need to worry about buying a game at full price, merely being a subscriber will give you access to the full fledged game. It could be an indie game or a AAA game or a AAAA game or an episodic type game. PS Now, I don't quite recollect the the sub count, is it what 2 mil subscribers? Should Sony focus on building a game pass type service to increase their value proposition as we step into next gen territory? Jimbo in an interview said game pass style subscription isn't a sustainable model. Well if that's the case Microsoft wouldn't have taken that route no? Perhaps it's a high risk high reward scenario and only Microsoft can afford what it's doing today. From the 7.5billion dollar acquisition of Zenimax/Bethesda to adding EA games to it's super attractive game pass. Xbox gamers around the world just need to sign up for game pass and they get their exclusives and multiplats on day one for free. Meanwhile you've got Sony jacking up the prices for their exclusives to $90 dollars in Europe and other parts of the world and $70 in the US. Can gamers sustain this insanely high priced exclusive games model?
Do you think Sony should rebrand PS Now and build their game pass over that product? What are your thoughts GAF.
