See thats not gonna happen, they would cannibalize their own sales.  

Just thinking about it from the business side of it, only games that exhusted their ability to sale will be on there.  Ill likely be a service stuffed with game that sold low (a nice way to pull some extra revenue from them) and old aaa games espoecially before sequal comes out.  

By reasonable amount of time I didn't mean like a month after release. I meant like 3-4 months. They wouldn't be losing as much as you'd think, many games are already on sale for as much as half off within 3-4 months, and they'd only be losing sales on 1 out of 3 next-gen platforms. Plus updating the service that frequently would likely convince at least half of all Xbox One owners to subscribe, and as Xbox One lifetime sales go up, so will EA's subs. This year they could potentially reach 4 million subs ($120 million), next year they could reach 8 million ($240 million), by the end of the generation they could maybe even have 20 million ($600 million) or more subs to the service.


Even 3/4 months is way soon,  Plus and gwg are pretty telling how old a game will be before its in the vault.  

No way in hell is a 3 month old Fifa in there.
