MS have put like 2 quality games on their store, hardly anything, they jyst dont have the dev power. Sony has a lot more and worldwide recognition. And I have said before multiple times yet you keep claiming I dont, but no, even then sony will still not beat steam, at least not for a long long time. I said they would fare better than MS. I also answer this before eveen though you choose to ignore it, but I know valve dosent offer first party games anymore. I told you they dint need to as they where the only platform on pc for a long time and basicly have a monopoly with the biggest back log. Also said it very clear many times that is not about first party games, that to compete they would just have to offer something different, quality Games available nowhere else is a good start while I told you there could be other things to offer, but I cant think of anything. |
That's where I am agreeing on, its not how many 1st party games MS can dish out to win over Steam users, Steam is great because its simple, it loads up incredible fast, its library of games is the biggest in the industry and it has nothing to do with the 1st Party support from Valve, and not everyone uses Steam to play DOTA2, I certainty don't.
Win Store has many great games on it and will only have more when Ori 2, Age of Empires, Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2 all rumoured to be Win10/Xbox Exclusive. It still wont overtake Steam. Sony will fair no better, they fall short when it comes to there online network compared to Live and Steam. Sony can have all there games on there service and like MS, it wont go past a service with its heavy reliance of 3rd party multiplats and backlog of games, something if you haven't notice MS already doing with OG Xbox and 360 titles for there Backwards compatible program, isn't that interesting, why are they going though all that hard work for BC? To compete with Steam. Unfortunately Sony shot themselves in the foot with that department by using different architectures for there consoles, so they need to rather be remastered or recoded which could take a while and could cost money something MS isn't shy on.
Steam has a huge chunk of the PC gamers support and that's a clear vision for MS to compete with, that's where the money is, not investing billions into Hardware that will be replaced in 7 years only to be investing more billions into the next, always chasing tail when it comes to Hardware where as Steam? they need not to worry, they have the largest community in gaming and they dont need to worry about investing billions into 1st party games or Hardware, its crazy to think how much Valve much save on a service like Steam.
MS probably laugh at this type of stuff when people complain that they are not selling enough yet MS are racking in a small fortune in Live members and focusing on boosting that number by offering Game-Pass etc. MS just doesn't give a damn about Physical sales anymore and since they are a software company at heart, it only makes more sense. There next big step is Steam.
