Microsoft will reach 100 million subscribers once Activision deal is done. Sony Lost and they know it. That 70 dollar BS didn't last very long.

So they are going to not double, not triple, but QUADRUPLE subs once the Deal is done?????

Aint nothing wrong with timed exclusives. It when you start doing all that extra stuff on top of the timed exclusive stuff..


"Capcom, You put that on xbox and we can't promise you front page promotion :sadcam:" Infact we can promise you any promotion or air time"
"Sega, you release that on xbox and we cant promise you any bonuses, promotions, or waive fee's on all future dlc:sadcam:"
"random indie, you drop that on xbox and according to our metrics in the long run you'll lose money based on what we are offering, we also can't promise you and promotions at all on anything or add time.:sadcam:"
How many struggling indie devs had to shutdown because Sony bullied them off Xbox :wow:

They just unloaded a full clip on them.
“Sony's concern with the potential competition of Game Pass simply reflects the usual resistance of traditional incumbents to competition on merit represented by disruptive players. [...] In short, Sony is not resigned to having to compete with Microsoft's subscription service. Sony's public outcry on subscription games and the company's response are clear: Sony doesn't want attractive subscription services to threaten its dominance in the market for digital distribution of console games. In other words, Sony rails against the introduction of new monetization models capable of challenging its business model.

This is the heart of the anti-Game Pass argument. The people against the service that hope to see it fail are that way because it threatens the status quo. The reality is if something new and different comes along you simply crush it by being better than it is. If you're better than your competitor then you have no worries because really they can't even touch you.
