If Xbox game studios pump out more hits, online is free, and gamepass is seen as a cheap way to jump in, I think that could change.there games can't just be good they need to be amazing. and it can't be just 1 amazing game in a generation it has to be 1-2 a year. the "mass audience" only buys a couple games a gen and they want to best ones.
Say Avowed, Fable, and the game from the initiative end up being great and hard to miss. $250 for lockhart in 2024 would be almost as cheap as just buying the games full price.
ms just doesn't seem to even want to do that. halo ought to have been their mind blowing game and it looks like trash. the lastest gears was trash. most of their new studios aren't AAA caliber. obsidian is their only studio capable of making that AAA must play game,.. but they just can't output fast enough to matter.
if gamepass was really as valuable as people are trying to make it xbox wouldn't be selling like such absolute garbage.
sony is the netflix of gaming. ms is the CBS all access..
