There's nothing saying it can't be successful in that post. It's just that the successful argument on the journalistic piece is 100% based on MS saying they're doing okay lol
I mean, even the Epic Store is successful without numbers.
For its value, i'm pretty surprised atleast half of Xone's ownerbase probably didn't subscribed to game pass. A userbase of 25 million would be probably enough for gamepass to be really lucrative.
Tho it puts on perspective how many people probably gets a Xone/PS4 just to play Fifa or a single game.
Gamepass is the reason why MS would make more acquisitions. The more exclusive content they can lock to the service, the more valuable it will be going forth.
Wups. Not like I care at all as long as the developers get their money. Otherwise that will change in the future and they will pull content. Microsoft pulls in enough money with their Cloud that they can offset the costs for everyone easily.
User Warned: Console Warring
I don't see any day one Sony 1st party games on Game Pass.
Okay. You know full well that the other poster was talking about Xbox 1st party exclusives.
That's nice? i am only referring to things the article states erroneously. I dont subscribe to PSnow to begin with. I didnt come to console war about features of services i have no interest in buying. Just correcting false info
I bet Microsoft has metrics they show to the dev/pub when negotiating.
I'm also glad you admitted why you want the numbers. For comparisons sake. It's only successful if it's beating Sony.
Great. But currently, their first party output is nowhere near the same level of quality. This bullet point isn't worth as much as people seem to think.
Depends on the title. Some games you can't download, so while you're right about PS4 games - the BC is really only streaming.
I agree. They are so in love with the idea of going silent for a very long time while their marketing for their other services and games suffer.
Because is a console warring thread...and the first response from the OP is obviously just bait....like the article
Acting like MS' first party content is analogous to Sony's is being pretty obtuse I'd say.
Sony or Nintendo would "catch up" the first time they drop a major 1st party exclusive day one.
I doubt Sony is really focused on driving PSNow subs on the PS4. They also have a vested interest in people continuing to buy PS4s and games for PS4, obviously. They're in the best position to hold their next gen cards close to the vest, then when they do roll out things like PSNow can be signal boosted by new hardware, PS5 exclusives, etc..
Here it might make more sense for people to not know, but if you want to be taken seriously in journalism, you should at least get basic facts about what you're talking about right
Wait, so if a non F2P MP game is on PS Now, I don't need separate PS+ sub to play it online?
The metric that dev care about is $$$ - if the check is big enough the service could have 10 subscribers and it still had the same amount of games, if MS is willing to "bleed" for it.
If you wanna go ahead and believe companies when they say they are the best, biggest and No. 1 without providing numbers or backing it up in public....thats your decision, but dont be surprised when others take a more critical approach and question things.
If Nintendo stopped providing WiiU hw numbers the moment it was clear that it flopped and suddenly only started talking about the high attach rate of their big first party game, while calling it mayor success story. Then went ahead and combined WiiU+3DS hw numbers and shipments as "Nintendo consoles" etc. . Regardless of true or not...people would ask question - its always gonna be the case if the whole picture isnt painted.
That's correct. You don't need PS+ to play PS Now games online, even if you downloaded instead of streaming.
You will still need it for non-Now games so it doesn't entirely replace Plus.
Absolutely love it as a service - particularly as someone that's more time-poor than I was a few years ago, I love spinning up games I otherwise wouldn't have bothered with and playing them for a few hours (and more if I'm really enjoying them).
I don't think I would have played A Plague Tale if it wasn't on Game Pass.

Throwing filthy money at something because of unlimited coffers is hardly schooling. I appreciate what MS is doing as a customer, but it's clear they're competing on debt more than creation.
It's when Internet Explorer was "schooling" Netscape.

Game pass on the pc helps me figure out if ill like a game or not. If i like the game i end up buying it on steam.
I do that too. Funny that I bought Shenmue on steam because I wanted mods, but after a while I felt that it wasn't that much important so I got a refund and played on gamepass.
If you're comparing the quality of the two publishers exclusives, that's another topic entirely. The "no PS games on game pass" dude was either being pedantic or couldn't infer the proper meaning. So obtuse is a pretty good description I'd say.
I like Game Pass because of how cheap it is and if Sony brought in a well-priced subscription service for their first-party games day and date, I'd be all over that. And TIL that PS Now has a download feature.
User warned: Platform warring
Sony PS4 has been offering this with PS Now for Some time, never had a problem with lag on it either.. Xbox fan boys just gas up Game pass bc their really isnt much on the xbox..
and yes its probably more Successful then PS now i dont think Sony would be desperate enough to make it as low as $1 for a couple months.
people love Cheap/free

Not all that different to "Xbox has no games" when it in fact as plenty of them.
When you're not the market leader in something, it's hard to turn that around.
You would think it's that easy, but it's not
Running a successful service is more than just releasing games day 1.
I hate that so many Gamepass threads get the Sony Too treatment because of PSNow. Gamepass is better in every way except in pure game count. PSNow has more lousy games available. Sony developed titles come and go from the service long after release whereas XGS titles come day 1 and stay creating a snowball of value. Xbox Gamepass is such a huge proposition for next gen. With your monthly sub you will have access to every XGS game on the series X. It's kind of crazy actually.
Microsoft is schooling the industry by offering up hundreds of games to play for $10 per month.
Next weeks article: Game sales are down.

I am pretty sure if Sony or Nintendo where giving away all of their exclusive games for 1$/month that would be a huge success, too. That alone would create millions of users. Gamepass mostly is a success because it's dead cheap and there were "tricks" to get subbed for years for small money.
Game pass on the PC allows me to play games that were previously unavailable to me. And for the low-entry price of a subscription model. I do not feel like I have to "gamble" with $60 purchases.
Gears of War 5 crashes on me. I can't progress. I've not had a problem with a game like this since...the first Gears of War on PC many, many years go. It's disappointing, but I'm not nearly as mad as if I had purchased the game and it didn't work.
Gamepass is great for me and I dont feel the need to buy games until next year. I want to try PS Now, but I'm afraid it will taint my hopes for it. I want to get it for streaming Bloodborne, but if the experience is bad, both the game and the service will be forever bad for me.
So if sony and Nintendo offer their Game for 1$ and become success IS it becouse of the Games or The Offer??
Honestly no they aren't the same. Game pass offers the following that psnow doesn't either provide or consistently provide
1st party games day and date
Discounts on games that are in the service
Brand new games weekly
Free multiplayer( golds included)
Cross share service with gamepass pc
Honestly they aren't the same and shouldn't be compared as of right now
Nintendo? Yes, they won't announce anything similar anytime soon.
But Sony could launch the PS5 with a new subscription service for their first party games. Thanks to backwards compatibility there should be a lot of games.
Can't decide what's worse. A clickbait website with the name "CCN" to clearly trick people or console warriors pretending like they know more about the success of Gamepass than Microsoft, the developers, and the consumers who are all benefitting from the service.
No it is not. Gold is included in game pass ultimate, which is more expensive, not regular game pass.
