If they can simply beef up the games offering, then I'll be happy to shell out those 20 bucks instead of going with a month subscription when I feel like it. |
3x/4x less than PS+ or XBL Gold? It costs around half the price of PS+ or XBL Gold when buying the subscriptions at the right time.
Unless you have family members or close friends to share a family membership, you are at $20 / €20 per year. The lowest price on 12-month Nintendo Online gift cards I've seen yet was €19.94... so six cents saved.
On the other hand I never payed more than €35 per year for PS+. In the first years (up to 2012) Sony often gave away 90-day-subscriptions for free when you bought PSN credit.
In 2017 I bought 15 months PS+ for €35... that's €28 for 12 months:
Most of the €28 - €35 € per year I get back due to PS Store discounts for PS+ members.
eShop discounts for Nintendo Online members were talked about but haven't happened yet.
----------------------------------
And then there are the games... in the 6.5 years PS+ I unlocked over 70 games with a MetaScore of 85 or better, over 80 games with a MetaScore of 80 - 84 and over 100 games with a MetaScore of 75 - 79:
On average that are more than 10 great games and around 30 good games per year... many of them within two years after release; many of the good indie games on day one of their release. And there were even some more good games in the PS+ subscription which I didn't unlock because I already bought them before.
