Still doesn’t change the fact that they are still only averaging adding 5 million subscribers a year. 50 million is a massive number, and I just don’t see how they get there.
I think its doable if they keep the cost around $15-$20 per month. With new games for next gen costing $70.00 a piece if you can get at least 3-4 new games off GamePass a year that you want to play you are saving money. Thats just 3 games right now. Many will get a lot more out of it. They have to make it a no brainer to the consumer(and maybe add some major exclusives).

Sony has dominated MS this generation and last
Last generation XBox 360 and PS3 sales were about even.

They were. I think if PS3 launches at $499 instead of $599, then Sony sales would have been higher.
Sony’s worse console to date still outsold Microsoft’s best in the end, even with an extra year that Microsoft had.

That and Xbox had some great exclusives (1st and third party)in the early years of the 360 and was the superior platform for a lot of games for a while. They really blew it with the One.

but shelling out $7.5 Billion seems like a lot of money to invest in a market they’re currently losing and will keep losing.
This is a bold statement.
Gamepass is the gamble, should it payoff Sony will hurt and there is no denying that.

The game has changed Bonkers. Going forward it is Microsoft's game to lose. Sony is blockbuster and Xbox is netflix.

RRoD helped Sony for that generation and the next.

PS3 was a pos, 360 is still one of the GOATs despite the god awful launch
Posted on 9/23/20 at 2:35 pm to Carson123987
360 was the console to have even with RROD and all that. Going from that to the Xbox one was just a real let down.

I got my PS3 mainly for MGS4. But it eventually became my netflix box and I did all my gaming on 360 or PC.

Nothing has changed. Sony will continue to dominate this generation, just like that have for the last 26 years. There are already early reports that PS5 preorders outsold Xbox Series S 6 to 1. I promise you this purchase did nothing to boost Microsoft above and beyond Sony.

You really are stuck in the past. Outselling consoles that both companies are taking losses on is not a win.
The playing field has changed and Sony is going to need to adapt.
Microsoft is not done either.

I cannot think of a better analogy than what was said a few posts up - Blockbuster vs. Netflix. We are watching it unfold yet again.

Satya Nadella has been rocking it at MSFT.
Greatest UW-Milwaukee grad of all-time.

Since we are talking rumors - Playstation was supposed to come in at a higher price point, $549 or $599.
They lowered the price to match Xbox.
So in your numerous rants, at least give Xbox credit for saving you money - you ungrateful bastard

Let’s hold off on sucking Microsoft’s dick when they have a history of throwing money at slightly superior hardware only to get crushed because no one gave a shite:

Yes let's use hardware that has been discontinued since 2012 to judge current initiatives from a company with new leadership. Microsoft has changed tremendously since 2014 when Satya Nadella took over the reins for MSFT.

Why can't people accept that xbox exclusives are trash. Halo is old as hell and infinite looked like shite. The only game worth a damn with Bethesda is Doom. All those other games suck.
