Re: Soapbox: PS5 Pricing Is Setting Releases Like Returnal Up to Fail

@get2sammyb There are over 2 billion iPhone and Android users out there. Even a small percentage of that is a huge number of subscribers. And they will need to Ultimate version which is $15. Microsoft already has the infrastructure in Azure. I use it daily at work.

Say with Phones, Tv, Xbox, and PC they will easily have a 100 million users at $15 per month in a few years. That is $1.5 Billion per month.

That is a ton of money.

@PapaGlitch 15 million GamePass subscribers as of September.

Say in 2 years...

15 million (I'll use $10 excluding $15 Ultimate - which I have)

15 million * $10 = $150 million per month ( 2 years once all the huge discounted subscription are over and everyone is paying $10 or $15 per month)

$150 million * 12 months = $1.8 Billion per year.

In 2 years there will be millions of new subscribers (see GamePass coming to TVs as an App, Android already and iPhone next year).

I see this as a very profitable adventure for Microsoft.

The issue is we cannot 'archive' PS5 to external storage or use the built in NVME expansion port. Many of us do not have unlimited internet. This will literally prevent me from buying PS5 games in the near future. One download of COD will take 1/10 of my monthly data.
