| EricHiggin said: Sure, but to play Game Pass, you need a device. The more devices MS can offer, the better the chance someone will purchase a device, leading them to sub to Game Pass. For now anyway. Even if MS didn't care that much about the hardcore spec gamers, they need them to help their ecosystem grow early on. Once the service grows large enough, they can forget about the highest most expensive performance products if they want to. Perhaps even all of them. Whether they will or not, we'll see. Though having a device or two of your own isn't exactly the worst idea because you can't always rely entirely on other companies products. |
Exactly, thats why MS is making something for everyone. If power is what you want, they have a box for you. If you are budget-minded, they have a box for you. If you don't want a console period, they are also on the PC. And e reason their marketing seems to be all over the place is cause as you said they are trying to make every platform or rather, every form factor they are in appear as if it were the best thing ever.
And the reason for that is that t would just b to risky for them to come out and just say, "hey, forget ou consoles just pay for our service."
They are setting themselves to end with a jack of all trades master of one conundrum. Unless you see it for what it really is and the only thing they really care about is gamepass. The consoles are just gateway drugs in this case.
