Casuals don't buy Xbox and most Xbox buyers don't use GP.
Millions upon millions of casuals buy Xbox, and billions upon billions of casuals buy Microsoft Windows PCs. Most Game Pass users are casuals.

Doesn't say that.


GP is already too far ahead, with many more game studios and billions more devices. RIP PS.

Jason Schreier or whatever said on Twitter no day one exclusives. Sony wouldn't do that, ever.

First party I'm talking. I'm sure all the indie garbage will be day one.
 


Details are a bit sparse, but the posted circular on Walmart’s website prominently features the major consoles, including the Nintendo Switch OLED Model, Xbox Series X / S, and both models of the PlayStation 5 with the note of “Available in-store or online at Walmart.com/GamerDrop.

This event is exclusive to select Walmart stores. You can find the closest Walmart that’s participating in the Gamer Drop event on Saturday, the 11th, by searching your address or zip code on the Gamer Drop page. Listed stores indicate Gamer Drop hours of 10:30AM to 7PM, which is a limited window compared to store hours of many Walmart stores. We have reached out to Walmart for further details and will keep an eye out for more information.

Sony won't put first party AAA games on a sub service day one, they've made that clear and they couldn't afford to do it even if they wanted to. They need the money brought in from those games, they invest a lot in them and the money needs to come in to fund future games.

These types of know-it-all posts have been done before by many members here, they usually don't age well my forum friend.

Know it all? Jim Ryan has said several times that their games need that big "box office" kind of debut, that is where most of the money from the software side comes in, there is nothing "know it all" about it it's just the truth, Schreier also reported no AAA games on day one. If Sony loses PlayStation the company would be at serious risk of folding, if MS lost xbox they wouldn't feel the loss at all.

Spencer and the xbox team talked up "day one" releases a lot and you know why it was easy? Game pass started mid 2017 and in the beginning of 2018 they announced day one first party games for the service. Between that time and FH5's launch they had like 3 AAA games launch on the console, everything else was indie, AA or a PC port. I hope you are ready for the inevitable price hike that'll come once they start releasing more games on a regular basis.

Didnt Read Lol Storm Trooper GIF

But yeah, they've said so many things that they later had to retract (see PM Maverick post above), not sure why you take this company (or any tbh) by their words lol

There is no other gaming company who thinks it makes sense to put new games on a subscription service day one, Sony has come out against the idea several times, the head of take two says new games don't belong on a service like that etc. PlayStation games do huge numbers for the most part, why would they give up selling 12 million copies of a game mostly at full price?

Sony chief Jim Ryan won't follow 'Xbox Games Pass' model - Micky News

we are not going to go down the road of putting new releases titles into a subscription model. These games cost many millions of dollars, well over $100 million, to develop. We just don’t see that as sustainable.

“We want to make the games bigger and better, and hopefully at some stage more persistent. So putting those into a subscription model on day one, for us, just doesn’t make any sense.

For others in a different situation, it might well make sense, but for us it doesn’t. We want to expand and grow our existing ecosystem, and putting new games into a subscription model just doesn’t sit with that.”

Jim Ryan is a liar and flip flops more than Trump. And Schreier didn’t say that. Even if he had said it, he has no clue. He doesn’t work for Sony and he is as credible as Pachter.

To be fair, Jinca makes a good point. Sony can't really gamble on this service like MS can. The only reason MS is gambling so hard is because of their cloud infrastructure allowing them to potentially reach billions of people. The potential profit MS has from this sub service would dwarf profits from just selling the games.

Sony doesn't have the financial security, the infrastructure, or the potential for ridiculous profit.

The question isn't will first party games go on day 1. The question is how long after release will first party games appear on the service.

Think of it more like EA Play.

This is what I think too. Sony doesn't have the deep pockets that MS does.

Sony needs those tens of millions of dollars revenue way more so I think they may capitalize on the first few waves of sales before putting their Ps5 titles on the service. So maybe we will see launch exclusives up to Rift apart for next year?
