They don't.
Wrong
They don't.
And their first first-party release was a flop (The Medium). Problem is, by the time next Bethesda game comes (especially TES VI since Fallout brand is severely damaged) there could be huge gap in sales between the two consoles (nobody wants Series S I hear). PS5 is already off to an early lead and consoles haven’t even arrived to shelves. They need major (and critically acclaimed) blockbusters before next GoW, FF XVI and GT 7 arrive.How many games do they make? ND makes like 2 games per gen if they are lucky.
I wouldn't sub to that service. Microsoft knows this and went up to 23 studios. Sony doesn't have the studios to feed a service like that. Neither do they have the money to feed it substantial third party games unless they want to stop moneyhatting games.

Subjective. Sucker Punch was middling... until they weren't. Same as Guerilla.Gabbie,
MS going up to so many studios will take a long time to generate content. Additionally the content they produce is not if the same quality as Sony first party
there is more to Sony than ND
Charging too much is not the way to go with a service like gamepass.
You need people to keep the subscription. Idea is to get as many subscribers on board as possible.
Once it reaches a critical mass, it generates a ton of cash, Sony could fund one AAA per month or more.
they will do probably the same as xbox 9.99 all gamesSony has arguably the strongest first party in the business.
Would you sign up for 19.99/month to get access to every exclusive game day and date?
that’s $240/yr per customer. Close to 3.5 fully priced $70 games per year, which is honestly pretty close to what they typically release each year (2 big AAAs and maybe a handful of smaller budget titles).
I would subscribe, but I wonder if Sony would be concerned about it seeming expensive compared to MS GamePass (justified by better exclusives)
If it came to PC, with first party Playstation games day and date (basically PC Gampass), then No i wouldnt. Not at that price.
$9.99 and i would be all over it.
Would depend on the offering, obviously. What 3rd party stuff would be on there. Service needs to be great if its twice the price of netflix
Only during the launch year is when they matter the most and if going forward both companies allow backwards compatibility with the last generation, they'll most likely be okay.calm down there Jim Ryan, I really think people underestimate how many people want to go back to relive old titles, especially during dry seasons much like this. A lot of people online, podcasts etc have stated they are playing legacy titles right now because there isn't anything else to play. Plus it also helps preserve their history by allowing and having those titles on said service. Sure people will be on the service for new games, but the older titles which at times can give the newer ones a run for their money when it comes to quality and storytelling can be unmatched as well and are a welcomed addition to a service.
$15 if you go with Ultimate. Otherwise, it's like $10.Wait! Gamepass is $20 a month? Lol
Medium wasn't first party and Starfield is rumored for a 2021 release.
We will have a clearer picture after E3 but as long as they turtle it out with third party releases, it doesn't really matter how long they take. Avowed should be 2022 (according to sponger) so its not that far off.

Only takes 1 good game to shift perception and with 23 studios, they are bound to hit some home runs.
Besides the point.Netflix raised prices
and the AAA movies dried out.Netflix raised prices
MS is losing lots of money in the meantime subsidizing GamePass
eventually they will be forced to raise prices after the subscription base is high enough
Im suggesting Sony offer the real price for such a service from the start to still be profitable, and with their superior first party they could immediately justify that price
Bro yall Sony fans make a new thread about the same thing every other day. No Sony can’t do that when they can sell you god of war for $70 an sell 5 million copies in the first month. Microsoft got MUCH more money and resources to burn it’s just that simple.
Whatever, for all intents and purposes (didn’t release on PS consoles), it was. Can’t run away from this flop, sorry.Medium wasn't first party and Starfield is rumored for a 2021 release.
It didn't LAUNCH on PlayStation, just like their last game, Blair Witch.Whatever, for all intents and purposes (didn’t release on PS consoles), it was. Can’t run away from this flop, sorry.
You've lived a vastly different reality than I have over the last decade.GamePass has 23 developers churning out games for it.

When does the war of attrition actually start, pray tell?No.
GamePass has 23 developers churning out games for it.
PlayStation Pass would only have 14 (minus the MLB team) churning out games for it.
That's a war of attrition Sony can't win.
Sony needs to bolster their 1st party stable via aquisition, or they need to pursue a non GamePass strategy.
When does the war of attrition actually start, pray tell?
I know they do, and over 3-5 years a lot of things can go wrong. Sorry not sorry, but I got my hopes up for Rare, and we know how that turned out. And their most recent 3-5 year project was laughed at so badly it got delayed a year. So yeah, I think we should wait for a release or or two before we make claims about the war of attrition. Buying studios just means they have money. Staying out of the studios way and getting AAA titles out the door is a whole different game.Probably never. Them tripling the size of their first party over the last 2 years will probably not change anything for them.
I mean, games definitely don't take 3-5 years to make...

You should 100% always assume your opponent is competent. I've seen way too many sure wins become losses from over-confidence. But what are you actually talking about? MS is not my opponent messenger_tears_of_joy. I can practically guarantee I was an Xbox owner before 95% of this forum had one in 2001. If they recapture the magic of exclusives along the lines of KOTOR, Mass Effect 1, Halo 1 and 2, I would be all over that shit. I'm just not holding my breath for it.This sounds an awful lot like underestimating your opponent.
It's probably best to assume your opponent is relatively competent.
