People spend ludicrous amounts of money on that game....  a $10 subscription isn't shit.. .please  

 

And those are CONSOLE games, which moved over and made a splash in the so called "candy crush" market... 

These are also people who willingly drop $500-$1000 on phones every 1-2 years...

Let's take a step back for a sec. 

 

While gamepass on Switch is lemming ownage. 

 

Let's not pretend MS 1st party is lighting the world on fire at the moment.   No one is rushing out to play those flops. 

 

MS will have to greatly improve the quality of the 1st party games for XCloud to be a hit with gamers.

Except that's not how things actually work in the real world, is Sea of Thieves a flop? Sure, critically, but it's not commercially.

If Nintendo runs a commerical, play Mario, Zelda, Halo, and Gears.

 

It's kinda argue against the marketing power of that. MS is clearly sacrificing hardware sales for a service future.

What exactly does Sony have to do with Switch game streaming? I didn't buy a Playstation to stream God of War on my Switch.

Things are going to change.  Get ready.

it's like you and DynamiteCop went back in time 8 years ago when everyone thought phone gamers wanted console games 

 

 

It's been proven time and time again.... the phone market thrives on free to play games.   That's not even debatable at this point.

Playstation tablet? Yes. That will be their portable and TV solution for streaming. Maybe phones.

 

Switch ain't happenong/

[Playstation Tablet 1,725]

I don't even get the phone arguement, it's irrelevant. Switch is a better piece of hardware, it has good controls, you can play it on your TV with a Pro controller like I do etc.

 

No one at SW is playing anything on a phone streaming.

Sea of Thieves is not lighting the world on Fire.  It is not a must have game. 

No one is running out to purchase any services to play sea of Thieves. 

 

Stop being a delusional fanboy for one sec. 

 

MS themselves know they needed to improve the quality of exclusives.  That's why they purchased all these devs. 

 

They now have to deliver quality content or it really won't matter how many devices they open up gamepass on if they don't have quality AAAe content. 

 

Let's wait and see what the new studios pump out... but stop pretending that the current content is something the mass market is clamoring for.

How are Netflix movies in the quality department? 

[Playstation Tablet 1,725]

This is just my speculation, but with such a focus on services and game pass. The next XBox will be a discless system.

 

That on top of Switch XCloud is going to be hilarous.

 

I dont think a faction has been owned as much since $599, Resistance, Motorstorm and Warhawk.

Aza... they are EXPANDING their market...  The phone market is huge... and there ARE people who will engage.  Switch is a tiny tiny fraction.  You're thinking extremely narrow in scope here lmao...

 

Think to the FUTURE not... what it would be now if it released now...

 

In the future, with 5G or whatever networks and all these huge infrastructure improvements, your games are wherever you are.. and whichever device you have with you.  Console quality games being on any hand held and tablet or phone.. will have an affect on that market.  It's not going to happen all at once... and it doesn't have to.  But you have to bet on the right horse... and Streaming is the horse everyone is betting on... so you want to have a chip in on that.

[Remij 4,680]

MS has work to do on exclusives.  If they can get solid titles and build some franchises, then that will help immensely.  The games have to be good after all... lol

Netflix is a movie streaming service. Not a game service.

 

Who gives a shit. Different market. Different audiences. Different needs, tastes, levels of quality etc.

This is some circa 2010 level shit, when consoles were going to die to phones. The handheld market would stop existing etc.

Netflix has a tun of blockbuster TV shows, movies, comedy specials etc that fall into original content category. 

 

Are you dense?  The other trash is filler to watch.

 

That was a dumb comparison because Netflix actually has AAAe content

Console games will be popular on phones...  You're in for a fucking surprise if you don't agree.

Can't wait for the touchscreen S rank runs of DMC5, and Seriko speed runs with streaming lag input. Exciting. I'm there day 1.
