Study confirms Xbox Game Pass games hurt sales of AAA titles, as PlayStation gamers remain loyal

[Redaktion]

Xbox has been adamant that Game Pass isn't detrimental to game sales. Even so, a new study demonstrates how the subscription service encourages sampling rather than buying. Meanwhile, PlayStation users spend just as long playing full-priced PS5 games.

What and PSN+ ultimate which is very similar to game pass doesn't? Let me guess it's cause day 1 release and variety.

Plus folks like y'all sounding like Kawasaki motor bikes crying rivers over the service like game pass, and possibly free games givn out by l, again PSN+, and also steam and epic allows folks like myself who can't really afford $70+ games every month to Play.

While Playstation gamers remain "loyal?" So gamers are not "loyal" for using a service? And Playstation gamers don't have a subscription service?
Lol! This article is absolutely bullsh*t. Anyone can write "a study shows" bullsh*t without actually providing any sources to the study.

Well no duh Triple A sales drop on Game Pass if its a Day One release. Many Triple A games are garbage anyway. Game Pass has more variety than just Triple A games. They have Double A and Indie titles too that those developers came out during the acquisition of ABK and said Game Pass gives them exposure they wouldn't have otherwise. Many Indie developers said this in affidavits to the court. Microsoft highlights Indie developers with Triple A game's mixed in. It may not be perfect but it sure beat what Playstation does to indie games. Burying them so deep you don't see them unless you know where to look. Sorry not sorry.

Lame man. Steam and Xbox are about to merge or at least share properties...that leaves PS where?
Ubisoft is sure to be on board and then Luna will merge in to. I am just speculating,  but there have been some rumors rolling around.

Now these game companies see what us music artists go through on streaming platforms with subscriptions. No one buys. They just play everything for $10-$20 a month. Screw the artists and the developers.
