Of course doing well might not mean huge increases in revenue.. it can mean things like drawing awareness and interest to the brand, does well for them in marketing, it apparently has cause game purchases to increase due to being able to essentially try before you buy.. which is another success for them. And, as I've said before... it's successful in the fact that it helps them further their agenda of pushing for adoption of digital gaming and use of the digital store as well as planting the seed that subscription gaming might not be so bad and is another option for consumers to consider. I mean revenue (and specifically profit wise) wise. Those are all obviously things that MS is currently hoping to promote while taking a hit of the very cheap price of GP. I'm far from convinced by the 'GP has led to increased game sales' narrative that MS spew out. We have no idea how well those things would've sold without GP so them having 'good' sales doesn't necessarily have any correlation to GP. All of Sonys and Ninty's first party games also having excellent record breaking sales but the narrative is different because they don't have GP. So I don't hold much in the words of MS since they clearly want to promote GP. Also if you notice with NPD charts nearly every first party MS title was launch heavy then nearly totally fell off the charts moving forward, unlike all the other titles that usually get no.1/2/3 spots then linger in the lower top 10s for months. Only Forza lingers like Forza always has. We prob won't know if it has been a success or not till next gen and beyond. Hopefully so though. Would love it to be the standard moving forward. 10 minutes ago, Jon2B said: PsNow is also on PC GP is on PC also, specifically for MS' games which MS use to usually hint that GP is a big success with their player count announcements..... All the 'X million players on SOD/SoT' reports always include PC GP players lol It's been their strategy for a while. Have a crazy good GP sale right before a first party release. Then make a 'player count' announcement for the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,608 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 GamePass is not on PC . Not even all of the first party games are on PC . Play Anywhere is NOT gamepass . There is like maybe a total of 10 games on PC , shit like Disneyland Adventures . You already choose to believe MS is lying about stuff so there isn't even a reason to argue with a deluded fanboys like you . I'm not claiming that MS is the number 1 , you guys are claiming GP is flopping , not doing well , Ms is desperate and yada yada so again , I'll wait . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're gonna mention Disney Adventure and not Gears, Halo Wars, Sea of Thieves, State of Decay, Forza and every other MS first party moving forward. Pretty much the no.1 reason to have GP is MS first party. Up until last night the only place I ever played GP was on PC. The only thing I claimed is that MS is taking a hit to encourage ppl to hop on board.

jehurey 3,228 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 They can't even say that "more than 10 million" people have Gamepass. On a console that has (supposedly) sold 40 million. We know there isn't an actual userbase of 40 million Xbox One console owners. They are clearly a smaller userbase that has purchased multiple Xbox One consoles because they are replacing the launch version, with the S version, or some of them replaced their launch version with the X version. Or some of them have even go as far as buying all three versions. There's plenty of overlap, probably moreso than any other previous console and their hardware versions. I don't think the true Xbox One userbase,which is to say actual owners, is greater than 30 million. There's probably at least a third of their owners who bought a second Xbox One. I think I might jump on the $2 if I can play the majority of those games on PC, I'll take a look at the available games and see what can be played. Two months and then cancel.

Having everyone pay $1 for GP is most definitely not their goal and most def not making them money. They are taking a hit on it now to get ppl aboard hoping the taste makes ppl understand the value and stay on. We'll see how it goes. Seriously you xbox fans are like cult level obsessed. I think I could talk shit about your mothers and not get the same reaction. I literally called it the greatest value in gaming history in this very thread. Well, when it takes off it'll make a ton of money. The problem is the negativity from haters like you. All you guys do is try to say shit like "they can't give it away! lolololol". Give them a chance to make it work at least. If it were any other company selling any other product (not video games offering a deal like $2 for 2 months, and NOT competing with your hero sony) you would be saying this is amazing .. I love this company! But no, it's MS who competes with your favorite gaming brand aka sony so you're criticizing. All the haters on this board are the same. IT's SW after all. Can't you detect your own bias? Edited February 13, 2019 by S#$@%^i Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are slow. This has refuted all and any future points, and i'm pretty sure you're too stupid to even get how unironically cuz it's always real sad － wrong you are. Also what does working long hours have to do with not being remedial. You go work 12 hours and convince yourself it was good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
