Tears of the Cows 1,211 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 1 hour ago, FIREPOWER said: 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. I don’t give a shit about MS hurting financially, it’s clear they don’t care either 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. dude, I don’t care at all about anyone’s sales being impacted. I’m getting games for significantly less than you, either way Edited May 11, 2021 by ghostz life matters Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Funny, MS has been making multiplats for years and they've never been in the Top 10 list. And they are top selling games because they sold most on Playstation...........not because they sold on Xbox. (RE8, for example).

You would pay $60 to play the new Madden in August, when they release it. You would pay $60 to play the new NHL 21 game in October 2020, when they release it. OR You pay $180 a year to play Madden SEVEN MONTHS LATER, and play NHL 21 SIX MONTHS LATER.

I enjoy playing with one specific buddy each year, and we probably put around 30 Hours each year into the games. I can easily stretch the 10 hours they give me until they’re released for free. I had 3 hours left on nhl before it came to Gamepass so yeah, free I have no desire to own these games, they’re yearly rehashes Edited May 11, 2021 by ghostz life matters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tears of the Cows 1,211 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Now, let’s assume I was gonna buy the show and outriders like all cows did. I wouldn’t have to pay a DIME for either you missed the part where my Gamepass is paid off for 3+ years and I paid a FRACTION of the normal sub Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember when folks said MS “didn’t care” about losing money with Zune, Mixer and Windows Phone and look how that turned out. You’re a fool if you think a multibillion dollar company is a charity that doesn’t care about losing money. They all care about losing money and there’s a limit to how much they will lose. Once that limit is passed then they will cut their losses and move on. Not saying the limit is in the next few months or year but there is a limit and you better pray that GamePass starts to show some dividends soon or they will eventually cut and run.

I don’t care at all. If it ended tomorrow, great, I got exactly what I needed out of it. I forget how much I paid, but I’m paid thru several years of GP, and at a very reduced rate. I would buy at least two EA games a year, which literally already allow me to make my money back (and then some, really). Everything else is free, as i already had GP pay itself back for the year. if MS ended GP, I’d still get madden & nhl yearly, and still spend ~120 a year on it. Gamepass isn’t ending for several years at the earliest. and I don’t expect it to make money any time soon, nor do I care.

Tears of the Cows 1,211 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) I’m just saying, why would you prefer to play outriders or MLB on PS, if, as you claim.. most people own both (xb and ps)? Owning those two alone are nearly equivalent to a Gamepass sub for a year. No one will play MLB or shitriders for a full year anyway… maybe MLB, but not when the new one releases.
