yes, yo_john.. i agree.  extending this on 360 is nice and all but MS ought to show they are serious about the program and extend it to xbone.  regardless of the semantics of how games are delivered... MS really ought to match the value sony is providing with their service if they want to remain competitive.  now that ps+ is required for multiplayer on ps4 a lot more people will have it and i expect the good word of mouth about it to expand.   

The purpose of the Games for Gold feature is to extend the life of the Xbox 360 beyond the Xbox One launch.  The idea is to keep gamers gaming on both platforms, rather than abandon the older one.  The same is true with PS+, hence why if you're currently a PS+ member you don't have to get another subscription for the PS4 or the Vita.

As for the Xbox One, on Day One they get Xbox Fitness free for a year, as well as Killer Instinct.  But my guess is after six months Microsoft will begin making some games available for free from the Xbox One library.  DriveClub for PS+ isn't much of a game, it's intended to intice gamers to purchase DriveClub.  And since that's now delayed there is only one game available for free for PS+ members.
