“ But more important are console sells”
Are they? Dollars are dollars whether they come from a subscription or from console sales. And those dollars are more likely to come from subscriptions since hardware is typically sold at a loss.
The Show on game pass was MLB’s decision not Sony.
They had nothing to do with it and likely wouldn’t have put it on game pass if they were the publisher.
So very unlikely it was a trade for Zenimax games - plus if you look at sales numbers - Zenimax games would be worth a lot more in a trade than just The Show.
Doing business is desperation now? Well I guess every corporation on earth is desperate.
Why does having two FPS games on game pass mean Halo is bad?
It should have multiple games - It’s game pass not Halo pass.
The above is only true until MS writes them a check... I would’ve also said MLB The Show wouldn’t be on game pass day 1...
Is that worldwide sales? That is very low if so.
House left in 2017, not 2011. And Playstation under Jim Ryan is a very different PlayStation unfortunately.
Who are “you guys”?
For once Pachter is actually right...
There’s a certain irony to this guy being called “educated viper” but barely being able to hold a conversation and doesn’t understand when to use your vs you’re.
@sactownlayer916 "Do some research next time."
If you did some research you would know that GP $$$ & microtransactions typically go to the publisher, not the developer (unless they are the same company).
Totally agree @darthv72. I hope for a PS game pass some day!
Presumably so if MS chose to have this game back for a 2nd time. They likely have telemetry / data around how many times a game in GP is played etc.
That being said, it is now coming to Game Pass & XCloud. So that's new.
Not a huge surprise really... does anyone seriously think Sony was the one putting this in Game Pass? There's no positive for them/their platform - only downsides.
How are they 'twisting the facts in favor of Microsoft' when they call out that Sony takes home 90% of the nations console sales? Surely they would leave that fact out if they are as biased as you claim.
@quenomamen In what way does a premium/high-end niche vehicle compare to a game console subscription service?
The majority of car companies DO advertise, as do Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. So by your logic, Xbox, PS and Switch are all bad products because they need advertisements?
I’d assume they’re planning on marketing Halo and the Zenimax games coming out... as well as marketing game pass.
Marketing products and services is equally important to a company.
Well now I know what a “virtual youtuber” is...
Imagine a company marketing their products and services... blasphemy!
Glad I held off on buying this and Madden.
Game Pass is great for annual sports franchises.
Always felt like a rip off to pay $60 (now $70) knowing a new game is gonna be out so soon.

“ it simply has no exclusives anymore that are not also available on PC. How is that a good thing for Microsoft”
Because MS games are not free on PC. You’re paying money to Microsoft.
Dollars spent on console aren’t more valuable than dollars spent on a PC.
Revenue is revenue. Source is irrelevant.
