Its not that Sony make more exclusives or that they cost a certain amount of money. The real issue is that Sony just do not have the infrastructure or advantage MS has not mention the 100% commitment to a service type of infrastructure like MS. PS Now is more like an addition to Sony then a major piece. If they wanted to go scale the same way as MS it would cost them huge in servers, infrastructure and cost. Also MS has committed to putting their first party games on PC as well. People criticize MS for this move but the reason is that MS is pushing gamepass on both PC and xbox hardware. MS needs the PC subs even more than they need the xbox subs and doing both helps keep gamers on PC using MS software and staying in their eco system. Basically what MS want is what Netflix has. You cannot purchase a device that doesn't have a Netflix app or a way to stream Netflix to thus giving them a huge advantage in gaining and keeping subs. MS basically want to do the same thing.
I believe Sony has reaslize this, which is why they are not trying to get their first party games on PC but they are still not commited to PSNow which means if MS reach their goal, it would be interesting if Sony changes tune to follow suite. Its a much bigger risk for Sony to move from the safe and traditional methods of the console war but for MS, I believe they feel they have bigger monsters to slay.
