Intrinsic said: And I am sure you never heard those that said PSnow is good. But it being good or not is not the issue here. We arent all sheep. It doesn't matter what you "heard" or who said it.... try and use your own head and think for yourself. What MS meant by likening gamepass to the netflix of gaming is with regards t a business model not a brand. They are talking abut you paying a monthly service fee that allows you access to digital library of games that you can then go onto stream on any number of devices. And all you will need is an app. Just like what netflix does for movies. Now regardless of what you want to believe or not, or how good you think it is or isn't. Sony has been doing EXACTLY that with PSnow since 2014. A good solid 3 years before MS started GamePass. Sony is also in more territories and has a larger library of games. I don't know anything about netflix of gaming... which sounds more to me like pure PR bullshit attention grabbing speak anyways: but if anyone as f this time can make that claim of the two of them.... its not MS. And you wonder why I say you are biased. MS may very well go n to do a much better job at game streaming than sony..... but as at right now, sony isn't just ahead of them and better and has achieved a larger market penetration..... they had been ding what you and MS seem t have just discovered recently. Lets call a spade a spade. |
Your problem is you are basing this on "Who's doing it first" rather than who's actually going to do it right.
But just for giggles, What do you think MS were doing with the original intentions of the X1. All Digital console, always online, DRM, Game sharing etc. Don't feed me this BS that Sony thought of this first, its been in the mindsets of MS and many other brands for many years before Sony started PSNow. Did you choose to ignore MS's slogan of "The Power of the Cloud" I heard that back before this gen even started. Sony brought Gaikai for $380m awhile back, and Sony are able to get into Streaming earlier due to there smaller network in Gaikai.
You can say I am bias, good for you. I am looking at the companies as a whole. MS has been building a world wide Cloud Streaming service for many years that has cost MS over $30billion (Half of what Sony is worth) just in Azure Cloud. That isn't something they planned overnight.. that's something they were doing before this generation even started.
Sony's PSNow is doing okay, and the profits are looking great for Sony, good on them, BUT Netflix of Gaming? Well I might agree with you if I can actually gain access to it, something iv been waiting years for and there's no sign this is coming any time soon either. But as it stands right now, its a average Streaming service with limited accessibilities but is definitely playable.
Why I agree with MS and there claims is based on there services and network, it actually makes sense when you look into there history through out the years. That's been there plan all along and they have a network that can take the world by storm if done right, not some of the world which is what PSNow is doing.
