| Arkaign said: I can't be the only person that thinks that Sony/MS probably realize that people doing things other than gaming on their consoles isn't that profitable. Now that PS+/XBLG are de-facto required for online play, the only extra revenue they can get is by charging per use for non-gaming stuff (movie/music/tv show licensing for individual downloads, or a subscription based service). Still, that's peanuts compared to someone buying even one major release a month. If people game less and derp around watching TV more, that's a net loss. |
Actually MS and Sony want people who use their console for things other than gaming to use their service which are paid services. They both want you to get hooked on using their console and being tied to their services which would mean they make money no matter if you are playing games or not. MS and Sony have music, Movies and TV streaming from their own services.
