Fun Fact you don't even need a Series X or Series S or PC you can used XCloud to play the games on Gamepass with your phone or even Smart TV the value for the casual gamer is out of this world.

What's even funnier is that people still believe MS cares about selling Xboxes more than selling XGP suscriptions.
They're full on boat selling XGP, and are also providing a machine you can use for it (without having to deal with PC prices and complexity) and for selling third parties licenses which they get a lot of income as well.
MS is all about services now, they even want to get rid of Win32 API on Windows to favor UWP just so they get total control of Windows apps purchases on store.

What’s even funnier than that is people who believe MS has a clue what it’s doing in any of its divisions. Propping up the win32/UWP fiasco as evidence of anything other than chaos is not good.

As with most things, it’s all my fault.
Rumor - Rumour: Microsoft intends to launch the Xbox Series X before the PS5 by any means, even if the launch games are affected

Gamepass pushers seem to value quantity more than quality, I've had the service a few times and man I rarely found anything on it that I wanted to play, it's either stuff I have already played or a bunch of garbage.

It's available on PC.You guys don’t seem to understand the more consoles sold the more people will buy into gamepass. If the same people just re sub then there won’t be any growth. So console sales are very important to Microsoft don’t let them fool you

I think I’m going to let the decision making be done by the people running one of the highest valued companies in the world, instead of you.
You should apply for a job there if you think you can better though.

It's not that it's not important, it's important because it can maximize XGP suscriptions.
But TBH, I think both MS and Sony just want their console to be on constant conversation and speculation helps people get thirsty and keep talking about it, remember "Project NX"?

Doesn't say it's not important, just that Games Pass subs is more important.

Every first party game launches on there. It has quantity AND quality.

They had their fans repeating "scalability" and "pro-consumer" for months, but appear to have replaced the marching orders with "the value of game pass" instead
I mean, there's nothing wrong with game pass, but damn. I bet in a month you could do a search on the forum for the keyword "value" and see nothing but Xbox threads and the same people talking about game pass over and over again.

MS has always had to go first due to E3 timing previously, so if we are going to go into new territory, why not force the competition to go first for once?
If they are so confident it should be an easy announcement for them. (See how this works?)

If I typed SSD I could find nothing but PS5 threads, it doesn’t prove anything or add anything to the conversation.

Once again, you are confusing "Big expensive company" with "it is run by smart people". And we have certainly seen plenty of horribly bad decisions made by these highly paid ceos, who then just walk off with a golden parachute while the lowly employee suffers. If you want to use MS's money as a shield for arguing how they can do no wrong, then I guess it makes sense why you play on Xbox.

So they just keep failing up then?
Why can’t other companies do the same?
All the “failures” people keep talking about result in more revenue and more profit. I wish I could fail even a portion as miserably.

It's just interesting how fast it caught on. It's like when people post the compilations of news media headlines about some new current event and every single one of them uses the exact same wording as if they were programmed to do so. Just a weird human condition thing how easily you can get people to parrot a phrase over and over for you.

honestly starting to wonder if Gamepass is being shilled. the endless threads about the exact same subject is incredible. either that or a lot of insecurity
it would be like 5 threads a week made by nintendo or sony fans about how many highly rated exclusives they have.
and it's funny to see how many people MS have successfully convinced that console sales aren't important.

Lol have you been here when an exclusive launches?
Did you look here after Sonys State of Play and see all the SSD threads?
If you want to pretend that the forum is only flooded with one type of threads, it speaks to your bias.
You only remember the ones that “offend“ you while ignoring all the others sitting there.

In the 2 weeks I’ve been here there have been a dozen concern trolling threads against Xbox and halo each week by Sony fans.

.. dumb answer buddy. More consoles sold equals more potential subs. It’s the same for Sony with PS Plus.

you only have a point when sony fans talk about the exact same thing, incessantly, for well over a year. a few weeks isn't anything. the SSD was new information and the threads have already died down hugely. gamepass is talked about like it's brand new info still and it's been over a year

Throwing money at everything doesn't win. Microsoft would be #1 if it were.Xcloud free with Gamepass is just crazy, Phil throwing down the gauntlet.
MS can do all this, in part because of shareholders vested in them, $1.55T market cap.

People think that just because something is available on the PC makes the other devices useless. The logic is so flawed and people who think like that are just beyond. Ignorant.
They are forgetting that a GPU alone will cost them roughly $1,200 or more that is equal to the Xbox Series X or PS5. That's not including a CPU, Motherboard, Ram, Monitor, Keyboard, Power Supply, Case and Mouse, and a copy of Windows 10. Fucking idiots.
I want too see what kind of performance they can get out of $499 PC. DMs are open, show me your amazing 4K60 or 4K120 builds with Ray Tracing on PC at $499. Please enlighten me. Thanks.

Theoretically Microsoft could afford to release the XSX for 99 bucks and destroy Sony, but nobody wants to waste money. Game Pass and xCloud are long term investments.

For me it reminds me more of Chinese style manufacturing, just dump the market with a lot of offerings and crash the perception of value since higher quality offerings cannot compete. I suppose they have reached the conclusion that they cannot and do not want to compete with the Sony "traditional AAA" style of video game business. I guess it is more " value " for the ADHD type of person who needs to skip around and wants a large library, just like how Netflix is I suppose. Just sad how Netflix has changed the quality and style of movies and shows as well for better or for worse.

lol I don't know why you see it as "This guy is on the PS5 side and I have to hit him with the SSD thing!" I never said you were even wrong. Just pointed out it was interesting how easily a group of fans can be persuaded to parrot a phrase over and over again for their plastic box masters.
Though, I guess it is interesting if a launch of a new console looks so grim that the most exciting thing about it is "the value of a subscription." We'd both be laughing together if Sony announced a bunch of free games for PS+ and a bunch of PS5 fangirls had so little to be excited about for the launch that they were all in unison describing the "value of PS+" over and over again.

Either prove it or fuck off.
Enough is enough of this shit.
You don’t see people calling everyone that praises the SSD Sony shills.
You bring nothing but negativity to the discourse, and then accuse them when they push back.
