Microsoft doesn't fully understand yet how the console realm works. Sony does. They know you have to work in steps and not force things into full on existence. It will bring about ridiculous charges and things of that ilk. Taking steps will save you money and also help the audience move along with you. You can force things onto the PC audeince because with the PC realm no one is created equal. If you dont want it you don't have to use it. If you put it on consoles since everyone is treated equally under a closed OS they could become victimized by said choies. PS Now is ready to release. Sony isn't going anywhere as far as Microsoft is with the cloud. Microsoft is selling a promise they haven't revealed much of anything for just yet.

So what you are saying is that Sony are smarter at screwing customer over than MS? PS+ is actually a good example of that, and the price on PS Now aren´t exactly great as far as I´ve heard.

No. I am saying Sony is more in touch with the consumer than Microsoft is. When Microsoft makes plans, they just make plans on what they think is cool. They forget the PC realm isn't the console realm.

PSN+ taught Microsoft how to treat the consumer. It gave them as service worth paying for because the people decided to pay for it. it was tested upon people and they made the decision. Forcing people into a paywall to use their subscriptions is a dictatorship via OS. Sony gave them the internet for free and allowed them to use their subscriptions but when it came to asking for your money for a subscription based service Sony let the consumer decide and then threw multiplayer in there. That pissed me off, but Microsoft made it normal to make people pay for multiplayer on consoles. So really, what can we do about that now?
