Hell this year alone we had; Bladed Edge, Minecraft Dungeons, Grounded, Wasteland 3, Battletoads, Gears Tactics, Ori, Tell me Why and Flightsim. If you can't see a pattern there, then I don't know what to tell you. They've been pouring out a ton of A AA games because those don't take a fortune and 5 years to make and are perfect for the GP business model. Halo is going GAAS and we'll have to see what they'll do with their other IPs.

Is the pattern a quality library of different genres? What do I win for getting it right?

Wow, lots of great games with loads of replay value across different genres, and these aren't even their big titles. Sounds terrible.

Look, we all have different tastes in games. Personally I love stuff like Wasteland 3, battletoads, Grounded as well a AAA game like TLOU2. Only thing I'm saying is that Sony and MS are going with completely different strategies and it will show in the types of games they'll be focusing on.

Sony is all about story telling and single player blockbusters. If you don't like those sort of games, you're in luck because they wouldn't work with the GP model. MS will be about quantity, smaller scale games and experiences that keep people engaged with GP over a long period of time. Elder Scrolls Online, Tell me Why... perfect games for GP. Doom Eternal, Gear 5.. not so much.
