I agree about making multiple PS+ tiers for different users. To me, using the Trophy system makes a lot of sense. PS+ Bronze - Basic Free PSN Account PS+ Silver - Online Gaming and Cloud Storage (10GB) PS+ Gold - Online Gaming, Cloud Storage (100GB), Bundled Games, and Discounts PS+ Platinum - Online Gaming, Cloud Storage (Unlimited), Bundled Games, Discounts, and PS Now That's just a rough draft, but something along those lines would be easy to understand, while giving PS+ a wider reach, by offering people the ability to pay for what they want. I don't like the idea of no mid gen upgrades. I really liked seeing the option for either a cheaper smaller console at the fab shrink, or an option that takes advanatage of the fab shrink to offer the most they can deliver. Ideally, for me, we would see PS5 upgrades at 5nm and 3nm next gen. I want the ability to buy the best PlayStation possible when the tech is ready. I never liked being locked out of fabrication improvements, upodated stadards (USB, Bluetooth, HDMI, WIfi, etc.) for years and years waiting until the next console arrives. Options is always the best choice, whether it be PS+ or Hardware. |
Doesn't look to bad other than the freebie. I don't see it happening aside from f2p games and free trials. I'd say the silver package would be the base.
I don't see PS launching a $499 console then offering an upgrade years later. In that case I would expect another weaker $399 launch model and a 3-4 year $399 upgrade again. No point in offering the newest top notch hardware if you're just looking to upsell customers a few years down the road. If PS4 was around $599 to produce and was sold at $499 at launch, there really wouldn't have been a need for Pro. A mid gen console also extends the lifetime of older outdated hardware. New gens allow for a much more worthy tech leap if that's what you're after.
