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.  

I know GP is good value man and yes there are some good games on it. But it's mostly older games that are already in the bargain bin, games that bombed but people might still want to play if they're for free and MS's AAA exclusives. Their exclusives are obviously the main reason why people would get a gp subscription.

What I keep trying to say is why MS would put all their exclusives on GP from day one? Doesn't that sound a bit strange from financial point of view to give their flagship games for free and put them on Xone too? How is that helping Series X sales and is it really just to compete with PSnow, even though hardly anyone cares about it and Sony didn't promote it all? 

Goopy you can’t keep posting like you never learned anything, myself and several others proved to you that the titles on the service are a combination of high profile, quality indie titles, and fairly recent. 

I told you why. It’s them being bold, thinking outside the box. Giving people a low barrier entry reason to come into the Xbox family. Day 1 access to exclusives big and small is a huge draw. This will be apparent once the 14 studios really start cranking out the games. Bleeding Edge and Ori 2 this month alone. 

Did....did you not just read that PSNow subscribers outnumber GP subscribers? You told me this yourself. Just because Sony doesn’t report it doesn’t mean it’s not popular.

It helps Series X because combined with “Smart Delivery” you get the best console and then get the games day 1 and overall save a ton of money compared to buying outright. 

Just coming into the Xbox brand is the victory, do you not see that? You yourself are an example with wanting to play Halo Infinite. Because once your in, you’ll likely spend more money elsewhere.
