Moneywise, Nintendo is the best value. Microsoft highest end is $60 more than Sony's highest end, so lets hope MS continues doing what the fans are loving about their service to justify the price.
But I'm calling this now, MS will start to pull back their Day 1 exclusive games (ie Call of Duty etc..).
I can't see MS making Activision money with their IP if they release everything Day 1 on Gamepass. They're doing it now to lure everyone in at first, but watch, Sony's not doing that because they know you make more money selling the games than on service, and I bet MS will follow. Correction, not follow but have already thought about it as well because I'm sure that's what Phil was hinting at earlier.
Unless someone can tell me that Halo Infinite was a huge success and made a lot of money while being on Game Pass because I felt like that flew off the radar fast.
I could be missing some factors so I'd be happy for anyone to tell me otherwise.
If Sony brings in all the big guns from their previous systems that'd be an advantage because Sony has some serious classics in the PS1-PS2 era. Nintendo has a lot of amazing classics too but they're so dam slow at adding them. Nintendo sure love to tease their fans *cough Metroid Prime 4* |
That's not going to happen. MS bought Activision to bolster their Game Pass catalog and having an annual or bi-annual CoD will be huge for growth and retaining subs. MS is 100% in on Game Pass and taking a loss initially is not their main concern. You also need to remember that CoD will still release on other platforms like Minecraft so they will still be selling copies. But being available on Game Pass day 1 will attract a lot of people to want an Xbox or PC.
Sony won't do this because they literally can't afford it.
