They’re really digging in on this shit, huh? Here’s hoping enough people pass on their games because of it that Sony regrets the decision.
Tons of non-Sony games to play on PC. If I never play a new Sony game ever again it truly won’t be a loss.
I knew Sony would double down on this shit. They always make these stupid business decisions.
Now I don’t feel so bad about buying it a few weeks ago and barely playing.
This happens when there is a lack of competition. If MS didn’t shit the bed with xbox in this generation, Sony would be trying harder
I’m curious: How do you think someone “shit the bed” with xbox, when Gamepass is incredibly popular and successful?
Sony has sold double the consoles this generation (60 vs 30 million I think). And the Series S is very unpopular with devs, increasing the complexity of developing games for Xbox to get just half the PS market.
Game Pass is popular, but it’s just one stream of revenue, and a lot people are only using it on PC. Sony is selling consoles, 70 EUR games, and in addition their own subscriptions.
I understand MS’s strategy, and maybe this was the best they could have done for this gen, but Sony and Nintendo is dominating console gaming, with MS lagging far behind.
Don’t forget how much money MS is spending on these game company acquisitions just to close other studios they already have that released great games instead of funding them to make even more great games. I feel as though game pass really relies on getting more customers to sign up for its success and eventually there will not be enough to sustain itself and that is why we are already seeing price increases and changing of the tiers

Sold consoles isn’t that great of a cathegory to judge the two, since both lose money on every sold unit.

Get ready for the same thing to happen on the vanilla PS5. Devs will target the PS5 pro for trailer footage and the games will run like shit on the old PS5.

It’s very cheap to offer and if they don’t need to sell xboxes to have a wider customer base, that’s a bonus - not a drawback.

We’ll see how far they’ll be lagging behind once they leverage their Call of duty monopoly.
They’re competing with PC now and simultaneously trying to turn this into a vector to convert people to PS5. It won’t work, but the fact that there are PC versions at all show how they can’t just do what they want with impunity.
