Intrinsic said: And your problem is that you are basing this all off on "potential" as opposed to actual action. I never said sony did it first, hell sony bought gaikai who were doing this and basically used that as the basis of their streaming backbone (PSVue, PSshare and PSnow). Now I never also said that MS may not end up doing it better, but right now that is not the case. PSnow is simply a more mature version right now of the very service MS is pushing with gamepass. And that has more to do with sony having done this very specific thing for longer than MS. If we are looking purely at potential, playstation shouldn't even exist as long as MS is in gaming. MS simply has more money and resources and a far better grip on software than sony will ever have. Android shouldn't exist because MS was making mobile OSs long before android became a thing.... and neither should iOS. I don't know what it is or why, but for all their knowhow, talk, promises and potential MS has historically and repeatedly come late to the party on every single tech innovation over the last 20yrs. Hell even nvidia started a streaming service before MS got in on it too. At one point MS didnt even consider gaming as somethin they should even pursue..... I mean just look no further than steam. That is the single biggest slap to the face of MS that there is and something that should make you think twice at lookin at MS (of all companies) when it comes to potential. So feel free to make whatever connections you want on how much potential and resources MS has t make a go of it. I on the other hand will believe more on what I can see right now. And the fact of the matter is this, how ever bad you think PSnow is because of the regions they are in or the quality of their service....... right now Gamepass is worse. I honestly cant even believe you are having a debate with me over something that can be vs something that already is. Like there is so much more to this tha wht you seem to be focused n. I mean lets look at market penetration. If streaming based gaming is to become a major thing (and I dont think it will) and both sony and MS are offerin an identical service with identical third party support and their own influx of exclusive software, who do you think will do better globally? Or let me be more specific, who do you think will do better in EU and Japan? |
I am not going to bite on majority of your post here.
But I will answer afew of your debates, because why not.
1st) I suggest you look up MS more often, they work globally with a lot of teams for building and futuring there products etc. They have an amazing research centre I suggest you read up on it.
2nd) MS makes money off Steam, hence why MS actually releases and publishes there very own games on Steam. So if that's the slap in the face for MS than there doing pretty good. There negatives still make them money.
3rd) Hmm so globally is all about Europe and Japan to you? How about majority of the English speaking countries? I can see MS taking control in majority of those places (If they do this right of course) and who even knows if Sony can afford to expand PSNow to the rest of the world? We know Azure is already world wide, Yes including low gaming market countries and they already have the foundations like GamePass and Play-Anywhere available for it so I am basing this off potential and there infrastructure.
I am also not against PSNow, I think its doing great but I wont go as far as calling it the Netflix of gaming, neither is xCloud.. not yet. I would rather wait and see before writing articles calling it The Netflix of Gaming because MS mentioned Netflix in a recent article. But I am not you, you do you, I do me. You can call it what you want.
