I couldn't imagine owning the conaole and having a GP sub

"I also want to make clear to people that are out there that for us at Xbox, there's not one business model that we think is going to win,"
what does this mean? im confused

You don't know what he means? He is saying Gamepass isn't the only avenue for Xbox to be successful, basically not throwing all their eggs in one basket.

 

[Negotiator101]

The fact that they took the time to make a PR statement about this says it all.

I don't believe this is a PR release, he was fielding a question.

I diagaree - a game has a better chance of being successful if its on GP for a limited time. Especially if there are no demo's.

Nintendo called the DS their third pillar, not to replace the GameBoy line, too . Anyway a nothing burger, but that is what we get with new threads on anything these people say no-matter what they say .

Because its a sales tactic at GDC to get devs to believe in it, if the numbers were so positive they would share them - not percentages with no real meaning.

I know from experience, and I don't fall for bullshit like you.

Are you a dev?

 

[Ozriel]

Don't fall for the BS. Any overlap between the subscription and al a carte sales is minuscule. They are in opposition for all intents and purposes.

What's that got to do with what's in the OP?

The sample at retail we get out of the uk is large enough to be extrapolated through the west

UK retail samples have often been at variance with sales records in the US for example.

The fact that they have to come out and say this pretty much tells you that this is not the case. Personally my Series X is for gamepass only (and my 360 physical games); I don't plan to ever buy a new physical game on XBOX ever again. I also might not maintain my gamepass sub year round.

 

[Riky]

All im saying is that its bait, it's all inflated and almost entirely untrue or manipulated data

"10 million people who played it for 2 min"

Accuses company of falsifying data.

Falsifies data themselves.

Wrong thread

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

people discussing the viability of Game Pass (numbers here numbers there) when in actuality the big issue is going to be how Game pass (and services like that) are going to affect Game Desing or even 'Game Business model' itself.
