PS Now vs Xbox Gamepass in revenue. What to believe?

Well in terms of revenue PS Now could well be above gamepass. I mean, you don't have to be a susbscriber. You can effectively rent streams on it as well, right? So there could be plenty of people just temporarily paying for specific games rather than becoming subscribers. I don't believe that's possible for gamepass.

But yeah, gamepass is the superior service, I'll 100% agree with that. As far as I'm concerned PS Now is a piece of trash. Actually downloading games instead of just streaming them is leagues better. Although I'd still say gamepass is woefully inferior to actually owning games.

They don't do the rental thing anymore and that was overpriced.

PS Now actually does let you download games now, which is a great feature to add. That doesn't include PS3 though, that's still streaming.

I just noticed the pricing for PS Now is really odd. $20 if you subscribe monthly, but only $99 for a whole year. The monthly price is ridiculous. MS's new subscription service will only be $15 a month for Gamepass and Gold.

My feeling is I can use Gamepass to play new games at launch so my subscription is gonna keep going. If I feel I really want to own those games, I'll buy them later when they're really cheap.
