Since they updated the service every month has been good, the only thing that was a little lacking was premium, but even that has really started to pick up with the last four or five months having big name classic games added.
Premium could end up being the real defining feature of the service and PlayStation if they can get a huge selection of PlayStation History all in one place.
I think as much as them trying to seem like the nice guys making all these deals, they are trying to find a revenue source for CoD after PlayStation.
Call of Duty is selling millions upon millions of box and digital copies on PlayStation, good luck trying to make that back giving the game away on a subscription.
I am just going to say that a few days ago I said that I didn't think that Microsoft actually had any plans for an actual native CoD release on Switch and would instead put a cloud version on the console and then would start pressuring Nintendo to put Game Pass on Switch.
Here is a formal notice of doubling down on that opinion.
Don't give me that SEGA BS that xbox fans always pull, SEGA was already struggling before Sony even created the PlayStation.
SEGA was failing to Nintendo before creating a series of devices and consoles that flopped on their own merits and combined with SEGA focus on arcade, which was already dying outside of Japan.
And It's hardly like Sony ever bought a whole publisher, or that the gaming industry of then can even remotely be compared to today....
Sony doesn't trust Microsoft because Microsoft is using money they made from their PC monopoly to try to dismantle Sony's profit streams and partnerships to starve them of content and money until they can no longer sustain PlayStation.
The hypocrisy of this argument is off the charts, as if Microsoft hasn't had its share of third party exclusives and as if that's even remotely the same thing as buying whole publishers to keep dozens if not hundreds of games off a rival platform forever, and it's particularly egregious when your clearly just targeting your rivals strongest partners.
Keep in mind, Microsoft could have also got all these companies to make games for them too. That's how game ...
I can tell you why I think there is no other options and why there won't be any other options.
The Big Square 3D NAND that's in it is made only by SKHynix and the controller is made only by Phison. Seagate literally only put these things in a box. If any other company wanted to make them they would cost the same because all they would be doing is buying the same parts for the same price.
There is little reason for anyone else to enter the market...
He estimated 18 m in the fiscal year, and they are tracking a little ahead of that, and it seems to be selling strongly still. It's hard for me to believe that he said that, but I didn't listen to the interview.
It's weird that this statement made in February wasn't covered by anyone else before this, as far as I can see.
