@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.
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.

@RayNick Simplicity for one. Don't need to buy new video cards, Nvidia and their constant driver updates. My computer is also for work hence it is not attached to my 65" 4k TV.
@AdamNovice Monopoly? are you saying Sony cant compete with their excellent game studios? Nintendo is doing great with very little AAA 3rd party support. Monopoly .. far from it.

Re: Pre-Order Returnal on PS5 to Unlock These In-Game Costumes
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I am curious, do you work for a game development company?
Re: New Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Starter Pack Focuses on Adler
@ScottyG that is great.
This Skin will last as long as WarZone.
Perfect
Re: New Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Starter Pack Focuses on Adler
Quick question: Can this Skin be used in WarZone?
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season One Adds Even More Maps and Modes in February
This game is a lot of fun and cant for the new modes and maps.
Re: Bethesda Teases Indiana Jones Game, But Will It Come to PS5?
@get2sammyb I agree the future is unknown, but for people to dismiss GamePass saying it wont be sustainable is questionable.
Re: Bethesda Teases Indiana Jones Game, But Will It Come to PS5?
@deathaxe 'GamePass is not sustainable into the longer term' Microsoft 100% disagrees with this.
Remember xcloud is part of GamePass Ultimate now. Potential billions of subscribers: Android, iPhone, SmartTvs, PC, Xbox, etc.
Re: Bethesda Teases Indiana Jones Game, But Will It Come to PS5?
@deathaxe Then why have a Microsoft studio make this game?
Re: Bethesda Teases Indiana Jones Game, But Will It Come to PS5?
GamePass only I bet.

Re: PS Plus January 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
@ObserverGamez Yea, but I did end up with the Definitive Edition at least.
Re: PS Plus January 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
I literally bought the definitive edition of Shadow of the Tomb Raider last night in the end of the year sale.
Re: Soapbox: PS5 Pricing Is Setting Releases Like Returnal Up to Fail
@themightyant For now yes it is a loss, but in say in a few years when they have over a 100 million subscribers paying full price?
There is a reason Google and Amazon are entering this market.

That is a ton of money.
Re: Soapbox: PS5 Pricing Is Setting Releases Like Returnal Up to Fail
@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.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 PS5, PS4 Preload Begins, 102GB Total File Size
@Netret0120 Many do. Look at past stories on this site.
Sony has to at least let us 'archive' PS5 games to an external drive.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 PS5, PS4 Preload Begins, 102GB Total File Size
@Netret0120 100% agree. Sadly many will on here will say you don't need more memory.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is a Massive 102GB Download on PS4
This one game will take 1/10 of my monthly internet data.

Re: PS4 Players Can't Compare Some Trophy Lists with PS5 Profiles
I have my PS 4 Pro still running and I cannot see any PS5 trophies. On the PS4 Pro and the web site. They should fix this.

Re: Rocket League Won't Get Meaningful Upgrades on PS5, Unlike Xbox Series X
@thefourfoldroot proof? Or maybe, just maybe, the Series X is more powerful.

Re: Sadly, You Can't Store PS5 Games on an External HDD
@blacklivesmatter and with internet data caps.... this is not good Sony.
Re: PS5 Doesn't Have Quick Resume, But Loading Is Lightning Fast
@Zeke68 Quick resume does not use save files. It is an image of the Xbox memory. It says the entire RAM space to the SSD.
Re: PS5 Doesn't Have Quick Resume, But Loading Is Lightning Fast
@vapidwolf at least for back compat games, Xbox is faster in SSD speed tests.
Re: Spider-Man: Miles Morales Takes About 12 Hours to Beat, Astro's Playroom Around 5 Hours
@LiamCroft big question: Does PS5 keep5 track of playing time? Or did you keep track manually?
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Requires 133GB of Free Space on PS5
@darkswabber hi to those games. They are much smaller in size compared to COD. Warzone, story, Zombie, multiplayer; etc.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Requires 133GB of Free Space on PS5
@darkswabber 4K textures take a lot of memory.
Re: Hands On: Astro's Playroom Is an Extraordinary Demonstration of DualSense
@get2sammyb does that include not saying if PS5 keeps track of game play time?
Re: Ubisoft Outlines Benefits of Playing Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed, More on PS5
@KidBoruto these are PS5 versions.
Re: The New PS Store for Web, Mobile Is a Dramatic Downgrade
@get2sammyb When will you guys fix the layout issue with Microsoft Edge? Same issue with Pure Xbox but Nintendo Life renders great.
Re: PS5 Has Instructions on Transferring Data from PS4 Right on the Box
We have to have both running and on the same network? This is far from convenient.
Re: Bethesda Games Are Looking Increasingly Unlikely on PS5
@RayNick Simplicity for one. Don't need to buy new video cards, Nvidia and their constant driver updates. My computer is also for work hence it is not attached to my 65" 4k TV.
Re: Bethesda Games Are Looking Increasingly Unlikely on PS5
@RayNick there are so many reasons to chose a console over a PC.
Re: Bethesda Games Are Looking Increasingly Unlikely on PS5
@TheFrenchiestFry you took the words out of my mouth. Xbox got tired of hearing they have no games. Simple.
Every time I heard this I'm was like STOP. MSFT has a market cap of 1.6 trillion dollars! Don't wake the beast... too late.
Re: PS4 Games Will Take Advantage of PS5's New User Experience Features
@Medic_Alert I bet it is Max 16 GB per game.
Re: World Record Trophy Hunter Hakoom Has Hit Level 999 Already
How do you find out how many games you've played to date? Just scroll through the trophy list?
Re: PS5 Could Lose Out on Upgraded Versions of Past Bethesda Games
@CJM they are tired of hearing Xbox has no games. Can’t say that anymore.
Re: Japanese Preview Image Shows an Actual PS5, Makes It Look a Lot Smaller
Why send to Japanese only? They must have enough units to send to outlets like digital foundry.
Re: Gamers Will Happily Pay $70 for PS5 Games, Argues Analyst
@GADG3Tx87 to each his own. It is always good to have options.
Re: Gamers Will Happily Pay $70 for PS5 Games, Argues Analyst
$70 will buy you 7 months of GamePass.
Re: This Could Be the First PS5 Compatible SSD
@Bamila Xbox expansion drive is made by Seagate.
Re: Reaction: Spider-Man PS5 Debacle Shows Sony Is Out of Touch
@Lonejester because other games are getting free updates.
Re: Microsoft Ponders More Video Game Company Acquisitions
I find it interesting many kept saying Xbox has no games... MSFT has heard this and look at them now.
Re: Microsoft Ponders More Video Game Company Acquisitions
@Pikki how often do Last of Us games come out?
Re: Microsoft Ponders More Video Game Company Acquisitions
@Deadlyblack sold for $70 but included in GamePass.
Re: Reaction: Bethesda Acquisition Is a Kick in the Balls for PS5, But Sony's Goals Won't Change
@Col_McCafferty Its all good my fellow PlayStation friend. Something wrong with being an American?
Re: The Internet Thinks Microsoft Will Buy SEGA Next
@AdamNovice Monopoly? are you saying Sony cant compete with their excellent game studios? Nintendo is doing great with very little AAA 3rd party support. Monopoly .. far from it.
Re: Reaction: Bethesda Acquisition Is a Kick in the Balls for PS5, But Sony's Goals Won't Change
@Salt_AU They will go to PS5 but with a 6 month delay then charged $70. Included in GamePass day one.
Re: Reaction: Bethesda Acquisition Is a Kick in the Balls for PS5, But Sony's Goals Won't Change
@Col_McCafferty Mass Effect is already on its way to Game Pass.
