Oh :mjlol:
"A big reason people will move over":hula:"argued that people would leave playstation to play call of duty on gamepass?"


What are you even talking about? Nothing I said contradicts what I've been saying, the people who are in the PS ecosystem aren't going to jump over to Nintendo or Xbox for a handful of games.

It's going to a library of games for those people to try something and be like "maybe I'll get a system" if that's there thing or "maybe I'll stay subbed" if that's their thing.

I've consistently said for almost 7 years now hardware wasn't going to be there main focus, and it'll never be as long as they are making high end hardware.

The goal is to get people into the ecosystem, gamepass is a major part of that ecosystem.

So WHEN PEOPLE who aren't part of that is ecosystem decide to join it be it by hardware or just gamepass they need to have incentive to stay.

:dahell:

Never did I argue that people were gonna abandon PlayStation and play on Xbox.

You quoting me saying "a big reason people will move over" means just that a Big reason aka a big factor (the game being free) is a reason people will move over.

But since you want it to fit your narrative. I'll write it how you trying to make it sound.



The reason people are going to abandon PlayStation and start playing on Xbox is because they can play for free.


You can quote this later down the line to misconstrue something else :mjlol:

They tried to apply PC OS tactics (make everything a subscription to get the consumer to pay forever) to the gaming market.

Problem is, they don’t have a monopoly on the gaming market like they do in the PC OS market. Like, nikka…there are other (better) options in Sony and Nintendo and no one is forced to use X-Box like we’re are forced to use trash ass Windows in business/government/academia…

They also underestimate how much people are content with where they are and how they consume media. I think all this did was cannibalize sales on xbox in favor of subs, but we’ll see if they can maintain the boosts subscriptions long term.

It’s just like the pandemic how they thought the huge uptick in MAU and subscriptions were gonna be a net positive coming out of covid and it wasnt at all. People are gonna try it and realize how expensive another 20 dollars a month is to play game

Oh :mjlol:

The sale split is 80-20 compared to 70-30 before Microsoft purchase. Microsoft won as they are making profits. The more it sales the more profit Microsoft makes. You heard Phil consolehardware is not the money maker especially if you are exclusive. Third party is where it’s at and providing service such as Gamepass. Sony finally realizing that.
