I don’t mean to clog the posts here (trying hard to space them out and let others post) but just had to throw this in here.

- Ever thought that MS knows they can’t compete traditionally with Sony so they are thinking outside the box? The only reason we get day 1 first party games is to give a massive perception of quality over PS Now. It’s meant to create a vast difference between brands that sets Xbox apart. This is part of the “bold” strategy MS is doing. 

Not like they are neglecting consoles as Series X is taking the spotlight lately as I’m sure you are aware 

That sounds great, except not many ps4 users care about PSnow, nor are Sony really promoting it like it's a big thing. What sets console brands apart is the quality of their exclusive games.

I get it, you don’t like Xbox’s marketing department. You yourself admitted more gamers use Ps Now compared to GP mostly due to the console sales gap. Just because Sony doesn’t promote it doesn’t mean it isn’t popular, especially since they dropped it to $10 per month I’m sure it’s grown more since. 

I played Gears 5 and Outer Worlds at launch without buying them outright. Those 2 games alone paid for my yearly sub.  Damn straight that’s a brand differentiating factor that Sony does not offer.  

Well we can agree on the quality aspect. Yet you yourself admitted that launch exclusives don’t have to be good games so long as they give a glimpse of the tech. On that we do not agree.  

Edit: Nice edit yourself, but my point stands. Day 1 high profile 1st party exclusives is arguably a system seller in its own right. Since Sony prefers you give them money upfront for theirs.
