Hopefully Microsoft addresses the Windows 10 and Xbox Live Gold concerns. The offerings on both platforms should not be equal given that console gamers pay.

The offerings aren't equal. You get free games for Xbox consoles each month but no free PC games. Every Xbox game with multiplayer mode uses the XBL-service, only a fraction of Windows games will use the XBL-service.

Sony's situation is similar... there are only a few multiplayer games for the Vita (most handheld games are single player experiences), so they don't put the multiplayer access on Vita behind a paywall.


Yes, but thats not what makes Xbox Live Gold Xbox Live Gold. Thats what makes Xbox Live Gold like PSN Plus. We all know where the free games comes from, that wasnt done before Sony succeeded with it in doing their own version of Gold and it succeed, so MS followed.

The Vita is Sony's platform and it does not rival the primary platform. With PC, that just so happens to be the case. If Microsoft goes just far enough with it, it could give PC gamers every reason not to buy a One. Broken GamezHD was also talking about that this other day. Its interesting when other people bring up the same sentiments.
