Looks like you want a Playstation 1 this christmas ?

 

Thank you, seems I'm dumber than a child lol. Should have typed lesser instead of greater.

 

But PS1 is an awesome console though, so if you're giving me PS1 for Christmas, I'll accept it with gratitude. Thank you very much for that!!

till 2025 this is the XCope jhumla, "LONG TERM"

"GUYS, LONG TERM PRIZE"

 

 

My predictions on next genconsoles:

Microsoft doesn't expect to sell more units at launch and has it's eyes on a much larger, long term prize.

 

Sony will do VERY well at launch but is going to end the generation as a niche product for high end consumers.

 

Nintendo will Nintendo

He is not completely wrong though. Gamepass + a cheaper series S could end up putting them in the lead over the generation.

 

But a niche product....

You assume that they will be able to keep the GP seleccion interesting across 3-5 years more with no profits in sight or strategy to turn revenue into profit except...

Nobody will bother with Xbox gamepass if it has indie bhindi games

Same thing was said even last gen (and the gen before). Ps4 means death, last console generation, ps4 won't maintain sales momentum etc etc. Even now ps4 is selling better than PS2 during the same period and switch is minting money for Nintendo. 

 

Just go and read some articles when onlive was launched or maybe even ouya. All so called experts come out just before a new generation is about to start and then disappear for the next decade.

Here's a very simple formula, you put out a product that isn't stupidly expensive (like PS3), and then support it with some incredible software that you can't find anywhere else. Nintendo figured it out 35 years ago, its not rocket science. The last Xbox exclusive that won VGA Goty award was fking Bioshock, and that was 13 years ago.

Except its not just indies. They have been able to bring 3rd party heavy hitters like GTA5, RDR2, DMC5, etc.

Yeah its obviously on rotation. Lets see how it goes if they can bring more heavy hitters on gamepass.

Here is a newsflash: Sony already has a gamepass like service, it's called psnow. It's available on US psn. They just haven't launched in India yet. You don't need to stream PS2 classics and PS4 games, you can download and play, exactly like gamepass. The PS4 3rd party library is pretty good, and they have pretty good 1st party collection. Obviously they are not dumb enough to give all their heavy hitters on psnow as it will affect their profit. But they can just launch a separate subscription only for downloading games in all regions if they want. So gamepass is not some unique revolutionary thing exclusive to xbox.

Everyone knows about psnow. Its a failed service. Maybe the model is similar to gamepass but you need better marketing to attract people, which MS has been good at with gamepass.

Gamepass is marketed better because ms has nothing else to market. Sony doesn't need to dip into that kind of marketing because they are already raking in profits from hardware and software sales. However, they can be agressive with psnow if by some miracle gamepass leads to PS5 sales being less than xsx. So it's not something unique to xbox.

Here's a list of PS4 games that can be downloaded and played on PS4, pretty good collection:

It's also only 60$ per year compared to 120$ of game pass and includes psplus for online games and cloud service. And MS fanboys were hyping up gamepass+gold as some new groundbreaking service while sony did it years ago.

Psnow isn't a priority for them but the groundwork is already laid in case they want to scale it up. Just like what happened with psn and xbox live. 

 

And according to 2018 end financial reports psnow made more money than gamepass and ea access combined. And since then psnow has 3 times the userbase without giving out free or 1$ subs continuously. So if psnow is a flop then I dunno what gamepass is.
