You clearly don't know what makes the PS consoles appealing to the masses.

And all of what you said reminded me what people used to say before the launch of the Switch. "For the same price, I can buy a PS4, and even less I can buy an Xbox One, which both are more powerful". But the Switch sold anyway. Like in huge amounts.

You are talking as if I'm saying Playstation was going to lose half of their sales or something over night 

I predicted about 10% decrease in a 6-7 years lifespan and mostly late gen decrease because of the further increasing of subscriptions and streaming services which is totally happening regardless of what boomers on this forum think about cloud gaming 

GamePass was released first on June 1st 2017. Almost four years ago, now. And the Sony brand has only increased in reputation since then. There seems to be little to no correlation or causation between them. 

I find it so odd how insistent people are that GamePass is going to change the industry. (PSNow, as well). If it was going to, it would have had a larger impact by now. As it stands, the reality of the situation is that it's good for a niche audience but the nature of games as an interactive medium means it really won't ever replace owning games. They've have plenty of time to prove its usefulness, and while it certainly has its appeals and certainly has its audience, it's not as big a mover and a shaker as people insist. 

Honestly, the only correlation/causal links I can find that differentiates Nintendo/Sony from Microsoft are exclusives and unique gameplay opportunities or features. I just...come on guys, go with the data.
