| Soundwave said: Why don't you outline exactly what you think the NX's "membership program" is going to be and why it's so amazing? I doubt it will be as ambitious as you think it is. DeNA is helping them out, big whoop, DeNA is a small potatoes company compared to the likes of Microsoft and even Sony (still). Sony/MS have basically membership reward programs and full digital if that's what you want. Hell Sony even has a streaming game service (PS Now) that eliminates the need for game hardware altogether already up and running, not several years away. You can play PS1/PS2/PS3 etc. games on that. |
I made an entire thread doing that, which you commented on, months ago. I'm not going to do it again. Not in this thread. It's forming the core of the NX platform. It's likely even more ambitious than I think. When it comes to screws, it's by far the biggest one in the NX.
DeNA doesn't need to be a big company to be able to be a crutial aid in what the NX platform will be. Their experience with Mobage is enough. Doesn't matter that Sony and MS are bigger. They haven't tried doing this. You can have all the money in the world, and it means nothing if you don't use it.
And again, what Sony/MS offer is not what the NX platform and the membership will be. They aren't even remotely the same. PS+ and XBLG aren't even rewards programs. They are subscription services. You aren't being rewarded for anything and you aren't being incentivise to do anything to obtain anything. You pay a fixed rate to get a service. That's not what the membership program is. PS Now isn't what the NX will be either, so bringing that up is irrelevant.
