Gamepass has reached the point where it's a console/ecosystem seller

[feelosofer]

Let's be honest anyone saying Gamepass doesn't have a great lineup is lying to themselves. Microsoft hit this one out of the park and even if you want to argue it isn't a system seller (which is arguable that it is) it is the superior service and this is coming from someone that prefers Sony's games.

Microsoft is actually in the best position it's ever been in technically.

They have the hardware advantage, they have consumers favor, they are fully supporting and enhancing backwards compatibility for FREE, they have 1st party studios line up making games and they have a heavy hitter 1st party studio that guaranteed to drop some hits and turn heads.


If they execute like this throughout the generation next gen is going to be a super interesting generation

they had the hardware advantage last gen

They been had 1st party studios that dont produce, but i guess you're counting Bethesda now which isnt really first party. They scuffed the Halo release which would've helped them even more

and consumer favor is a myth. how do you measure this when PS5s are outselling Xbox even with limited stock? Imagine if sony had 100million ps5s to sell day one. Xbox would've gotten lapped, microsoft is just throwing money around to buy a win

As someone who just bought a Series X, I'd still say the value of Gamepass is still to be determined by the quality of the games (relative to the player's interest, of course).

On one hand I agree with you. But on the other hand, I think the curation aspect of Gamepass is a big part of it too.

There’s dozens (or even hundreds) of games releasing every day. Part of the value of Gamepass is sifting through that noise and giving you some really good games to play without doing much research.
