I'm sure all third party games will release day one on the service /s...just like gamepass where Ms is throwing a fuckton more money than Sony you see sparse releases and is for this reason that Ms now have 30+ studios because their service need those day one release to excite people. Is smart to say that is very VERY likely that ps+ will receive old games and rarely some release (probably indie)
But I thought Xbox gamers were all about them "old games," since BC was a huge console war item not too long ago.
I think it would be more important to use that as a debate of missing projected targets over a longer period of time. We were in peak pandemic in 2020.
Pandemic is the period where these subscriptions made more sense though.
I'm a primarily PS user, but FPS boost on Xbox is no joke. I buy a lot of older games when they go on sale on there.But I thought Xbox gamers were all about them "old games," since BC was a huge console war item not too long ago.
Not discounting that, at all.
Yeah I get it. I fall into the "all of the above" option though.
aha, and when was spencer saying the opposite of that?Reads like something Jim Ryan would say.
When did I say he said the opposite? It was just never mentioned for a focus (if at all) the past several years, but unironically, it was mentioned a week before these numbers came out, and mentioned after they missed their target growth they hoped to achieve, in a pandemic to boot.
I see what you're saying, but it's also a huge contributing factor of why there was such a surge of subscribers in the first place, so they missed their goal based on those generous expectations if that makes sense. It doesn't mean they aren't preforming well by missing their target. That's why I think more time is necessary to get a better understanding of where things are going.
We are also looking at CEO bonus goals, which in theory should be a stretch. They also missed other targets as well.
To me it's the glaring issue that despite spending ungodly amounts of money on PS1 & PS2 Classics and PSP games on THE SAME ACCOUNT, they are now asking me to rent some of them and not give me access to most of them, it's total half-baked bullshit...and that goes without mentioning that my physical games aren't compatible either. Xbox has this covered.
I agree.
I'm pretty sure that if you paying for the number of third party releases you are going to lose your moneyLiterally you while writing that:
bc is huge but more huge are day one.But I thought Xbox gamers were all about them "old games," since BC was a huge console war item not too long ago.

It doesn't prevent any one of us from getting and enjoying games. When's the last time that was?bc is huge but more huge are day one.
The amount needing to be paid is directly proportional to the expected losses in sales. Larger install base and access to other intangible perks that only a leading console giant potentially commands can alter the deal. See where it lands.
this is not PS4 gen...the install base will grow in proportion to the availability of consoles, surely there will be markets where the PlayStation will dominate but these markets are unfortunately the least interesting ones for AAA studios we usually talk about here on neogaf. In short ... it is unlikely that games like a new FARCRY will release these big titles on day one on the service ...They are not doing it with Ms money and a huge growth service like gamepass and they will not do it on Sony's.
