Now yes you can argue the revenue isn’t the same BUT, if you look at the big picture, subs are going up for gamepass. And you can argue gamepass is becoming their platform. We shall see what happens but I do see Xbox gaining momentum. Despite selling 13 million consoles, forza is on the verge of out pacing miles morales because of gamepass . |
I think a more important factor is how much engagement Forza Horizon 5 has in the long run, or how many subscriptions Forza Horizon 5 pushed during its launch week, having a high number of players is a given being included in a subscription service. For example, look at how you can inflate the popularity of Uncharted 4, presumably 20+ Million LTD, but has been confirmed to have 37+ Million players.
Xbox gaining momentum doesn't mean it will impact the PS5. In fact, I could see all three platform holders growing their userbase, simply because a global pandemic last year reignited a lot of interest in gaming for lapsed gamers.
