I don't think he was saying that it's better value. But that the comparison shouldn't be made in the first place. But since you are doing it, you should at least include the cost of XBL.

People subscribe to PS+ and XBL primarily to play games online. Free games and discounts are mainly further incentives.
Free games have been a thing on those subscriptions for a few generations now. Collection just makes a selection of games always accessible, so you're not affected if you 'miss a month' Or 84 months.

This isn't Sony's version of Game Pass. That would be Playstation Now. This is an expansion of the PS+ free games.
And if it doesn't jack up the monthly cost, then it's just a nice free bonus for most people. Or an additional incentive to get a Playstation for newcomers.

If you didn't have a PS4, or missed out on some of these games, and you're thinking about getting PS5, then you'll have God of War, Persona 5, Monster Hunter, RE7, etc, right off the bat if you get PS Plus.

Exactly. This is just an add on. It is free DLC. Game pass = PS now. PS (and collection) = XB Live.  This shouldn't be a difficult concept.

Don't compare PS now to XBL. Don't compare PS (or the collection) to game pass.

You subscribe to game pass for games. To XBL for online. You subscribe to PS now for games. to PS+ for online.

XBL and PS+ just happen to also give games. PS collection is a plus to PS+.

If I would do the type of comparison he does I could say that since I have PS+ since the start of PS4 and received about 3 to 4 games a month that would be about 200 games on my collection that I can play anytime for R$100 a year (or 20USD - less than 2USD per month) so that beats GP in price, quantity and quality.
