Sales - Gamepass Numbers - View Post

I feel that a video I made last month would actually fit in here very well.  I argue that PS Now is GamePass+XCloud.  The only difference is that Sony don't put out their games on day one on the service. 

But I argue that doing so doesn't make business sense.  The amount of money MS has to pour into GamePass to make it what it is will never make a profit.

As I say, apart from the day one thing, PS Now is the same thing.  You can download the games (you only HAVE to stream PS3 games), and the selection is really good.  Plus let me be really brutal and say that although MS do put their 1st party games on GamePass on day 1, they hardly have any 1st party games to begin with!

I decided to watch the video against my better judgment and there are so many things wrong. It speaks volumes that you actually haven't used Game Pass. From a value point of view there is way more going on with Game Pass than PSNow. Not only Day 1 releases of 1st party games, but almost half the games released on Game Pass during a month are day 1 3rd party titles. Then you say Xbox doesn't have any exclusives and compare Crackdown 3 to God of war lol. The console warring is strong in this video. You also get Perks with Game Pass(free content for certain games and other stuff like 3 months subs Spotify, etc), EA Play, game discounts, and just newer games in general like Scarlet Nexus. PSNow doesn't even put all their older exclusives on the service and their 1st party games don't even stay on the service indefinitely.

Then we get to the best part of this video where you decide to stop comparing PSNow to Game Pass due to day 1 releases, and flip it to Game Pass is not a sustainable business, which basically is your way of conceding that Game Pass is better lol. 

Come'on man. I know Sony fans want Playstation to always be the best in everything, but sometimes it's just not the case and the fact you made this video shows a bit of insecurity. I will say editing is solid and a well done video in general, but the console warring is not a good look, especially when you come across as salty towards Xbox.
