sounds good to me, i use both. but i have over a year of live stacked from all the sales they have had, like buy 3 months get 3 months free. ive stacked them up each time it happens. plus being able to keep the games you get even if it expires. great setup.

Well, seems like it's always the same three or so guys who post their 1-2 liners in these threads just to downplay everything MS does and how it won't help to get back on track and how they lost their war against Sony (don't see Nintendo guys so much in these threads). I can't take some users serious anymore, that's for sure. At least I can't believe that someone thinks MS really wants to catch up in sales with such a small decision so that the only other option is “I just have to post something negative even if it doesn't make any sense“ MS just tries to make more money like every company does. They obviously know that this won't sell them millions of consoles more. |
Not to forget there is similar quantity of 1-2 liners defending everything done... but let's focus on a single side =p

How many millions have been waiting for an all-access subscription option before jumping in? I mean countless times I’ve heard “Yeah GamePass is the best value in gaming by far, and Live kills PSN, but man, they gotta put them together before I’m game!”
Apparently they go together like lamb and tuna fish. And now millions get their wish. I predict 50,000,00000 in sales just from this desperate move.

Good, don’t take them serious. Laugh and move on, they’re petty.
That's actually a good idea by Microsoft. Let's see how they will handle this.

Especially since none of them post any sort of links to at least try to have a foot to stand on when in a debate. Its all about the sales numbers to them, not the money there making. If your not number 1 on the sales charts, there's no point in competing. Logic and common sense has defiantly bypass some people.
Glad you don't take them for granted.

In all fairness VGC is mostly about UNIT sales, and not generated revenue tracking. Unit sales can be considered a pretty decent metric and same goes for revenue/active user numbers as well. The best is to combine these and try to see the whole picture.
Not taking into account unit sales will result in just as skewed overall market understanding as the one you are complaining about.
OT: it was expected and it seems to be the natural direction that MS takes as of late. They want to offer the services as a one-size-fits-all aproach. Luckily, it seems that as of next gen they will be able to sweeten the deal with some good exclusives as well.
Vote the Mayor for Mayor!
If they’re most likely forced to sell the system at a loss anyway they might just lend it right away. I still think for that the monthly cost is a bit too high to be feasible.

This is a good move for MS.
However, you also have the same MS fans, defending everything MS does. Power was irrelevant, first party was irrelevant, Japanese games were irrelevant, until MS supported these gaming mediums, and their fans flip flopped on the topic. Sony fans did this too, but many of them also criticized Sony, instead of turning a blind eye to their short comings. Only if we could dig up old threads...
I thought the plan was alway to include a console. The rumor also included a plan for an X1X or base console and it would be 2 years between 20 and 30 bones a month. This could be a pretty good plan as the upfront cost is pushed out, you get 100+ games to play not including XBL live stuff and MP.
