Gamepass is never going to become the "Netflix of gaming".

It's been 8 years now since the service launched, it's clear by this point that most of the gaming audience just isn't that interested in an expensive online rental service.

Gamepass also trained the Xbox player base to not actually buy games, undermining software sales.

Netflix is available on way more devices and more accessible with streaming. If Game Pass was on Playstation and Nintendo systems, subs would likely be upwards of 80 million by now. 

Game Pass can and is considered the "Netflix of gaming" key word: Gaming. Not of all entrainment. As, Otter said, it's all relative to the medium. 

Agreed. Game Pass is limited to Xbox in the console space. Add in Nintendo and PlayStation and it would probably get 10 million more subs to the current 35 million or so. 



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
