Forums - Sony Discussion - Yet another week that Sony throws it our faces that US PS+ is disappointing compared to other regions.

Maybe if Americans bought as many PS3 in USA as in Europe (proportionaly) they could care more... convince your friends to enter the PSN+


That doesn't make much sense since Sony's games sell better in NA than Europe, doesn't matter how many consoles you sell if they don't buy your games.


If people buy more games then it's better not to give them for free since they will sell (and one indie posted about the arrangment, so if the "lost" sales in USA is bigger than in EU the cost to put in plus would be greater as well).


Lol so if they buy your games then they get the short end of the leash.  That's a messed up way of doing business.

Seems to work in Vgchartz... the most the company fuck you the more company fanboys defend it.

But from a bussiness point it's better to give what would have less chance of selling and leverage for the sequel than to give away games that people are already willing to pay for.

Europe loves Playstation the most while US gave middle finger to Sony this gen.Sony is doing the right thing.

Barely.  There's 4.5 million difference in US and Europe.  Do the millions of US PS+ subscribers deserve to get screwed over just because US is Xbox Land in comparison to other countries though?


4.5 million difference between europe and us -> You really think US is as big as europe ?

There are obviously reasons we are not aware of. Same thing happens with discounts, summer sales, etc. On every platform.



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

and yet NA have a much better store content wise.
you have better sales, by miles...
games launch almost every time first in the NA store.

we have a good PS+; better or worse is a POV, the above are not

Proudest Platinums - BF: Bad Company, Killzone 2 , Battlefield 3 and GTA4

I'd actually rather go to McDonalds.

Well that sucks, but when you can't even find your own country on the countries list when first creating your account on the PS3, you can complain a bit more than this.

Chill, you still get it better than other folks.

(Not that you can't make up an address in some country in the list or anything, but still).
