Says who? You? There’s no proof that that’s where the industry is heading. Microsoft are the only major publisher that puts its games on subscription and they can afford to do that because they’ve got bottomless money and their games aren’t really selling like that.
Every other major publisher including Sony and Nintendo sells their games the old fashioned way and their hardware and software sales are still booming and no proof that sales are slowing. Sony’s record breaking financial report confirms this.
Even if the industry does eventually becomes subscription, content will determine who wins. Sony’s game content now, the future and the past destroys anything Microsoft has.
Just look at Disney and Netflix. Netflix had been in the game for years before Disney, yet thanks to Disney’s strong content, they’re quickly catching up to Netflix in subscription numbers.
