Of course numbers matter, they sure mattered last gen when Microsoft was bragging about being 1-2 million ahead. They only don't matter now because Sony is selling 3x as many consoles and more than 4x as many games.
And I guarantee you they still matter to retailers and game publishers ect.
Not "has over 5 million players" 5 million players have "tried it" There is a big difference there. And Spider-Man SOLD 3.5 million units in 3 days. I garuntee that by now Spider-Man has SOLD more copies than people who have "tried" Sea of Thieves.
This is exactly the difference between made up double counted figures like "players" and actual numbers of "sold" copies.
Have you even look at the game list? There are 760 games, there are tons of games for everyone, in fact PSNow has a much wider variety of genres than gamepass.
Well... Krib were obviously talking about this generation, but if you want to go back to the 80's people were playing MUD's and downloading games on Compuserve and Prodigy ect. using dial-up modems.
Sony's games sell millions and are some of the best selling games every year. Micrsoft puts it's games on gamepass because their user base is much smaller and their games haven't sold well.
And I'd just like to remind you that PSNow is 760 games vs gamepass which has around 175 games. And if you look at the game list you'll see there are lot's more first party games than just Bloodborn....
No it doesn't your lying, you've never even tried it. I actually have PSNow and it works fine. And with 4x as many total games as Gamepass and more downloadable games it's by far the best gaming subscription. The best and only Netflix of gaming.
How is that going to help them close the gap if Sony with it's 700+ games on PSNow just does the same thing?
If the articles focus was "Game Pass would be more popular if they offered a family plan" they might have a legitimate argument.
I don't understand why so many sites try to imply that this or that is going to help xbox gain on PS4... PS4 has been outselling xbox 3:1 for more than 3 years, nothing is going to change that.
"Yes, because crossplay with other consoles would sell more Xbox's. How exactly would that even work? And when did MS even beg for this? They asked Sony for one game and you and others went nuts. For a feature that no one cared about you guys definitely went insane trying to tell everyone no one cared."
Because in most of Europe and Asia PS4 outsells xbox 10:1 or more so people didn't buy an xbox or multiplayer games because...
Pardon me, I mistook your comment for the usual trolling you do since nothing you said added any value to discussion of the topic. Judging from the disagrees I think most people felt the same.
Remember when Microsoft for almost 2 years mislead customers by saying the X would support VR then in the last few days before launch quietly removed it from their webpage with out even a press release?
Let's not forget that the reason Microsoft had to beg for this feature was due to how poorly the xbox was selling. Besides he didn't have anything to do with it ultimately it was pressure from the third parties.
What will be remembered is all the other lies and B.S. from Microsoft. Like always online, we can't remove kinect, gaas is the future, single player isn't relevant, X will support VR, closing studios and canceli...
