Re: Poll: Does Sony Need to Take Action After Microsoft's Activision Buyout?

In the short term, 1-2 years, nothing much will change but in 2+ years the balance off power will shift and Gamepass will be the the general rule

I think MS have won the long game by changing the rules without Sony noticing. Sony has to change its reliance on selling hardware because gamespass has over a billion potential customers, anyone with a phone, tablet, PC or Smart TV is now a customer that can be tapped into

MS were mocked by not releasing Xbox console sales figures but the money is in software and user engagement and they knew this. Boxes shipped by MS is becoming far less important to them

@viktorcode I don’t think MS care if you buy an Xbox. They’re thinking beyond plastic boxes, as long as people have a pc, mobile, tablet or smart tv you’re a potential customer. Potentially hundreds of millions of customers.

Sony are, at the moment, reliant on selling consoles to establish a user base.. They’re starting to release on PC but it may be too little too late in the game
