Serious Discussion: In what way could Sony combat Xbox Gamepass

[Jchr is]

they got to stop charging 70 for games though
yeah it will work because everything is new it's next gen
that's why they have generic ass Godfall at 70
but that won't be sustainable IMO
most likely the hardcore people will pay the 70 (plus tax making it about 75) for a game no matter how generic it is while everyone else waits for sales so they can buy the game at the value they think it's worth

That’s what they’re banking on though. The digital is priced so aggressively because when they have you in the ecosystem they take the whole piece. Look at sales on psn and Xbox versus Nintendo. I don’t think they’ll get rid of the crazy constant sales and deals and instead front load on the hardcore while scooping from the frugal over time. The tails on sales worked real well for them this gen unless they go too greedy.

Roll plus and now together to keep is spicy. Keep the relationship with your indies and mid range like Devolver to bless the casual and hardcore with some day one launchers on the service and plot the next move.

This makes zero sense

PS4 sales are way above xb1
So not only does xb1 have less consoles out
Their consumers will spend less cause instead of buying games they would have bought, they pay far less with game pass

Why do they need an answer to game pass? Since when is game pass this game changer/system seller?

Just like why does Sony need to buy a studio because MS bought one. Why can't they focus on the plans they already have in place that got them the lead and helped them maintain it the last 7 years?

Then you say stuff like this

Serious discussion no fanboy shyt.

And follow up with this

This might be the end of Sony if they don’t come out with a quick game plan to combat.

As though Sony won't be starting the gen off in the lead heavy. Is Nintendo in danger of being at "the end" because they don't care about game pass either?

The hook to GamePass is their alleged AAA exclusives day one for $5 or whatever the fukk.
OK. That's a wait and see game.
Just took a glance at the Gamepass site, I don't care bout these old games. Most serious gamers done played em.
The other hook being some mid ass games that you wouldn't normally care for,
but for the price of next to nothing, you'd check em out?
Are big multi-plat games gonna be there Day 1? The Red Deads, GTA's ex. I doubt it.

3rd parties are not putting their big games on there day 1. Xbox putting their triple A's on there Day 1 is the hook....

You don't know gamers then. Anybody that actually plays games has known about/had Gamepass for years now...

Thats a dumb statement because not all gamers are in the xbox ecosystem. But I know plenty of gamers even some that have a Xbox's. None of them ever mentions gamepass when we are discussing video games. I know its hard for some of you gaming incels to realize that not all gamers are the same. They don't sit around and argue about shyt like gamepass, tflops and resolution. Most people just buy these consoles based on their brand preference or their controller preference, has nothing to do with how the games look at all.

What's a dumb statement is for you to act like you know people with an Xbox that don't have Gamepass. It's hard to believe that when everyone I know that plays games on an Xbox has Gamepass and a lot with PS Now on PS4, and somehow you know none with Gamepass. You're lying out your ass.

It's damn near impossible not to have Gamepass when it was a dollar for month for like 2 years and MS pushed it down your throat when you turned the console on everytime

The people I know with xboxes mainly play sports games, COD, and GTA, they have no real use for gamepass breh, no one I know with a PS4 has PS Now either, the fukk I don't even have that shyt. PS Plus is the furthest I'll go. I don't think some of you realize how weird y'all are when it comes to these video games

exactly most people that play xbox are playing online multiplayer games. Gamepass is ebtter served for single player one and done type games. He's being ignorant

No, the fact you can't comprehend what I am saying makes you dumb breh. Maybe you should put the games down for a while and read a book.

Ok so now we have resorted to 5th grade level insults, breh mad at me because he can't comprehend a simple point. He gon be ready to fight next.

Sony has to improve PS Now to keep up with Gamepass but what both these services need to do is guarantee that the games people want to play on each service will always be there. What I've seen from these streaming services with TV and movies is things you want to watch will be there for 3-6 months, but never permanently. I'm not trying to keep tabs on what is available and how long. So the advantage is still with Sony right now because they are going to produce 1st party titles that I want to purchase outright, decreasing the need I have to buy PS Now. Xbox has a ways to go in producing those same experiences I can only get with their product, even though its nice I can cop another month of Gamepass to play the things I really want to.

I don't really think Sony needs to honestly, keep doing what they doing. Sony and Microsoft low key cater to a different demographic of gamer and always have. Gamepass fits Xbox's demographic and Sony's model fits theirs.

Just a Gen ago everyone was complaining about Xbox's always online approach. Now Gamepass is the next best thing. Goodluck trying to play your gamepass games offline...
