Like I don't perceive all developers will hence forth be offering their games day one for any of the available streaming services. As it stands, Sony already has more 3rd party partners on board for their service, ones who have still yet to put their games on Gamepass. Sony also has the larger stable of games that can't be gotten anywhere on their service. What will xCloud service really mean if its still the same 250 games of eye bleeding quality vs PSNow's 750+ decently running titles? If it plays out anything like The Movie/TV industry we will only see even more large publishers try to divy off and make claim with their own services if they can. EA has been attempting that already. These types of services will live and die by their game collection.
I also don't believe we have really seen the extent of what Sony can and will do with the service. As far as we know, they could already be getting Servers put in place. They are just keeping their head down and letting the media say what they want. |
There's accouple key ingredients that will entice developers to jump on board and that's the world wide accessibility of xCloud and MS's very own 1st party line-up launching day one to help promote GamePass.
We don't know how long until Sony can achieve world wide status for there Gaikia network. Might not even be achieved next gen.
Also you are comparing a service that's been out for many years, of course its going to have a bigger library, of course its going to be more popular. Also xCloud doesn't have to be GamePass games only, it could access any Xbox game moving forward. GamePass is just a value package something that will go well together for a package deal etc. xCloud isn't limited to 1 game library. It might also house mobile games and PC games etc. We don't exactly know for sure, but you know its going to be more than 250 games that GamePass offers.
