Gamepass has stable downloads to play on XB1 but this raises the question, how will this service work for next gen and their plan to touch other devices? STREAMING is the only answer to that, as you cannot play native games coded for other consoles. So PSNow is actually ahead of the curve for what is supposed to be MS's master plan with the service

For starters... There is this thing called "Virtualization", "Binary Translation", "Abstraction" and "Emulation" that allows for Microsofts current backwards compatibility efforts to be a drop in on next-gen hardware/other devices with minimal effort.

PSNow earned around $143 Million out of the total $273 Million made in Game Subscriptions in 2018w has.

Of course that's going to happen. Sony has a larger piece of the console market than Microsoft.

PSNow and GamePass are different services at the current rate. PSNow is a Streaming service on multiple devices while GamePass is exclusive to the Xbox One from what I know of. However the big difference with the two is that PSNow is a standard Streaming services while GamePass will most likely become a Streaming service that connects to XCloud that would (Should) offer premium Streaming abilities.

You can stream Gamepass titles to PC via the Windows 10 Xbox app I think... You still need a console to do the heavy lifting/rendering though.

1. They will not be able to have Gamepass games running natively on PC or Switch, meaning Streaming is how that will work. So going forward, being able to natively download for non dedicated hardware is a moot point in this space.

2.And why would we/should we expect anything of the current status quo to change? Having a head start will definitely help them cement a foot in this space. And Hardware numbers of PS4 only tell part of the story of subscribers. This is supposed to be on multiple devices remember.
