From an IGN article (citing GamesIndustry.Biz), Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan claims that Sony won't put high profile 1st Party games on streaming service day one because budgets are too high and the model is not "sustainable."
"For us, having a catalogue of games is not something that defines a platform," Ryan told GamesIndustry.Biz. "Our pitch, as you've heard, is 'new games, great games.' We have had this conversation before -- we are not going to go down the road of putting new releases titles into a subscription model. These games cost many millions of dollars, well over $100 million, to develop. We just don't see that as sustainable."
I think most of us understood this but it is nice for them to clarify their position. Obviously Microsoft disagrees with their approach to Gamepass. It's up to Microsoft to prove this is a sustainable/profitable model. Only time will tell.
What do you think?
