1.) Kind of a weird point to bring up. Casual markets don't seem to be interested in the same titles that others are. 2.) This seems like a bizarrely bad deal. Of course anyone would still take them up on that offer, because they can keep people attached to their platform, but a bizarrely bad deal. 3.) I think Sony is exaggerating massively. It would be a hit for sure, but I am pretty sure Sony's blockbusters would be fine... |
Sony is right. At this time they probably cannot put their first party games on their service day and date like MS because MS has deeper pockets, own the majority of the servers used for GP and are trying to decouple dependance on hardware. Sony on the other hand need those console sales as they are not a streaming service company like MS and probably have not built up their service to go full hog like MS. While putting their 1st party games on their service would see huge uptake it would come at a cost to the game selling at retail. Its a much risker prospect for Sony compared to MS because MS is looking to shake up the industry and Sony want to keep the status quo.
