Outriders, MLB = $130. Gamepass annual sub = 120. so yeah, assuming you’d play even one more game thru the year it would have paid itself off.

FIREPOWER 710 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Since when did buying games become a bad thing? if anything it proves GP isn't the industry game changer you lems think it is. If GP was so huge it would have impacted sales of those games on PSN but it didn't meaning PS gamers don't mind paying for their games like we've been doing for the last 40 something years of console gaming.

jehurey 3,227 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 So...............developers are figuring out that they could make more money selling full-priced games on Playstation than they would on GamePass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cows don’t have a choice, lol. Nah, this early in the gen it's mostly hardcore gamers buying games and hardcore tend to be multi-console owners. If GamePass isn't disrupting Sony's business model which by the looks of things is approximately 70-80% of sales going by the Resident Evil sales thread then this isn't good news for MS. The whole point of GP is to get people to stop spending $60-70 for games and instead adopt the subscription model which is clearly not happening for the majority of gamers. This might be good news for lems as they get to save money but in the end it's bad news for the GP platform and Xbox in general as MS is seeing less revenue on their platform and it makes it a lot harder for MS to negotiate third party deals with this kind of sales split. Expect Sony to easily secure more big third party exclusives like FF7 & 16 going forward with these sort of figures. Edited May 11, 2021 by FIREPOWER Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it was truly flourishing you would see big declines in PS software sales yet they are at record breaking levels. How are DVDs sales going since Netflix became a success? Meanwhile Nintendo (who don't even do price drops) and Sony are continually breaking sales records. The only thing GP is impacting is sales on it's on console, the Xbox, just as predicted RE8 with a 20% market share on XBox LMAO. Eating it's own market because they have accustomed their userbase to not pay for games. Exact same scenario as what happened in the mobile space, where now even $1 feels expensive cause it should be FTP. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know who predicted this very thing? Satoru Iwata At a keynote speech that he gave at GDC before he died. TEN YEARS AGO Quote Furthermore, Iwata argued makers of mobile and social platforms have no motivation to encourage high-value software, unlike companies that make systems dedicated to games. “For them, content is something created by someone else. Their goal is to just gather as much software as possible, because … that is how they profit. The value of video game software does not matter to them. … The fact is, what we produce has value, and we should protect that value.” "Their goal is to just gather as much software as possible, because … that is how they profit" Now, who do you constantly see in the news doing what he is describing? Hmmmmmm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
