Don't know what perspective you have, but Live Gold was adopted out of necessity more then anything. That and microtransactions have always got a negative backlash online.Doing it first doesn't translate to gamers loving you for it.

But to Sony fans, they now LOVE MP paywalls. Microtransactions? Bring em on! Indie titles? Downplayed last gen but now are the future!

I am serious here, Sony has this squeaky clean image that if there is anything controversal that gamers don't like, Sony can and will make it mainstream popular. Seriously.

We could bitch on about Micors all we want, yet some one (a lot of them) are ok with it enough to make it quite profitable for eveyone to be jumping on board. 

Its value and making people feel good about their purchese nothing more, MS is good at making people fell fucked over,  Sony is good at making them feel they got a deal.  Its nothing "squeaky clean image" its just plain competance.  MS showed lack of it with the X1 debut fiasco and the other bs after. 

Doesn't change my point here that as long as Sony throws in something of "value", they can make anything controversal a nice pill to swallow. In case you may not see I am conplementing Sony here ;)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
