Netflix releases first party content on day one and newer movies/shows while Sony doesn't. Sony just announced Battlefield Hardline etc...PS3 version is going to be on Ps Plus this month while there is a better version that can't be downloaded on PS4. lol
"Except PS Now has way more content and is makes way more revenue than any other game subscription service."
Doubt it. Sony rents Amazon's servers for PS Now streaming thats limited to 720p. PS Now isn't really a Netflix for games since Sony doesn't add new games to their service, while Microsoft does for Xbox Game Pass and it's expanding to mobile platform this year with Project Xcloud, built in touch controls.
Depends though since Microsoft has their own built from scratch servers around the globe. They have researchers that's trying to eliminate latency issues.
They don't understand why this is a good thing. Small indie developers will need Cross-play to keep their games active and increase the userbase.
"Gotta boost those player numbers to hide what a sales failure"
Microsoft has been offering 1$ per month discount since day one. You're about 1 year too late to downplay Xbox Game Pass.
Steam gamers doesn't like competition, it's all about not being on my favorite store.
Nintendo direct was boring
Sauna Row 4 amd Gat me out of hell is a copy of the crackdown series
I've got Crackdown Preordered since I'm a huge fan of the crackdown series and loved the demo.
I've just checked the list of games on Humble Bundle, they've listed old games lol. On Xbox Game Pass you can play newer release games every month like We Happy Few, Crackdown 3, Life is Strange 2, Forza Horizon 4, Gears of War 4 etc..
"Doesn't Origin Access Premier do that?"
Origin Premier is nearly twice as much as Xbox Game Pass.
Origin Premier - £15,99 per month
Xbox Game Pass - £8,...
Also, you can Game share with your friends so they can use Xbox Game Pass on Windows 10/Xbox One consoles. Best value in gaming
"by default, still required two AA batteries.”
It better than non-removable batteries that will eventually die, also it’s impossible to upgrade to something more powerful. My rechargeable battery on Xbox controller last for over 48 hours without charge compared to Duelshock 4 that needs charging at least 3x a day.
League Play, skins and weapons weren't locked behind exclusive DLC deal on Microsoft console. Huge difference
You're right. Microsoft stragedy is to make Xbox Live API available to all developers for them to implement into their games with access to Cross-buy, cross-play, Achievements (Optional) etc. It's similar to what epics doing with Fortnite, the advantages with Xbox Live is it won't be exclusive to one dedicated Store.
Xbox isn't just a console, it's a service that's currently available on Windows 10 and Xbox Consoles.
Last Gen games?
Sony wants to protect man-children from cross-play, that's why they decline to comment.
me three
EA will probably announce a subscription service for Android and IOS.
Also, with Xbox Game Pass you'll get 20% discount of games and 10% discount off DLCs if you decide to purchase if within the service.
