streaming is like VR a flop unreliable streaming a movie is way different than streaming games
PS fanboys are like: "I DONT WANT OPTIONS! I DONT WANT SERVICES, OR CLOUD OR PC! JUST WANT A CONSOLE MONOPOLY!" Thats why they are always angry.
They also want “exclusive titles” (which they all suck now)
@gustavomachado6113 PS fanboys are like: "I WOULDN'T MIND CLOUD STREAMING IF IT WASN'T SO 💩. NOW THAT DAY ONE RELEASES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY GAMEPASS IS A WASTE OF MONEY"
@@ODDEYE_XIIIThey aren’t getting rid of Day One releases. For example, one of the biggest games that Microsoft has under their belt, CALL OF FRICKIN DUTY, is releasing day one on it. If you don’t have Gamepass, you still have the option to pay for it on Xbox, PC, and PlayStation. And also, you got ratioed into oblivion in another comment section for saying the same thing. Maybe do a little research before posting
@@Shredder1400 That's one game and only because it was announced before the Gamepass changes.
@@ODDEYE_XIII go look at their website. It still says day one releases with the price change on Ultimate and PC Gamepass. Regardless if they announced the game before the price increase, it’s still coming day one, along with all of the others they announced at the Showcase. If something else changes, I’ll take my L gracefully, but I don’t see that happening.
I found it interesting the whole industry is concerned about an optional service with 34 Million subs and don’t give a F’ck how F2P and Pay-to-win literally altered consumer behavior and game development in the whole industry.
I could not agree with what you’ve said anymore, your spot on, the industry seems to view what Microsoft is doing through a 2009 mentality, Microsoft are trying to give people choice, everyone seems to think that gamers only want to buy there games and play them natively but that isn’t the case, everyone has their own use case and needs and requirements, I’d use the fire stick etc if I went on holiday, I use xcloud on my phone to try games and then decide if I wanna download them on my series x, gamepass is growing, and is a great value and somehow people seem threatened by choice and value
true enough, I try to avoid P2W games as much as possible.
@@icecoldcabbage4329 Or too fucking broke to spend 20 a month.
I wouldn't say people dont give a fuck about PAY 2 Win tactics being used in gaming.... I mean, you are bringing it up in a comment section that has nothing to do with PAY to Win.
I agree that way too many people complain about Game Pass damn near on a weekly basis (and more annoying is how many PlayStation guys are enraged about the price increase as if it effects them in the slightest LoL. It's the epitome of Fake Outrage).
But when you are a PlayStation only fan, and PlayStation has decided to go completely silent for damn near this entire generation... PS fanboys have all resorted to just talking shit on Xbox because their really is no PlayStation news haha.
@@garthhancock3373 If you really put it into perspective on what people spend each month with their money (especially here in America), $20 isn't a lot of money. Can't tell you how many people at work buy stuff they don't need or go out to eat at a restaurant everyday. You gonna forget people literally spend hundreds of dollars on skins in video games every year through MTX? I don't care if we're talking about Game Pass or not, $20 is not a lot
2 of my TV remotes have a Netflix button on them. Soon I reckon this will be Gamepass button
If this thing does really well maybe our remotes will have an Xbox button in a few years 😂
@Mark-mu4pj My personal take from all this is Amazon signing an exclusivity deal with xbox. After that and it was successful, I can see a green fire stick being released with the xbox logo all over it. Amazon then pushed out of the picture
@@MrShaunCunliffe I agree, it's a possibility if it does do well, i can also see a fire stick type device but it's only the Xbox app and marketed as "the Xbox streaming stick" or something along those lines, either way it'll be interesting to see what happens/sells well or not.
Funny you mention that! I have an Xbox 360 white remote control that worked to control Netflix and other TV options and the Xbox team was already thinking about something similar to this almost 15 years ago! 🤗
The only problem Ponies have with GP is that it's not named "PS GP."
Nope it’s that it’s ass and if ps was doing it you’d be so mad
I own an XSX, PS5, and Steamdeck. I'm 53 years old gamer. I take my gaming seriously. This doesn't bother me. I wish MS luck, and I believe it will be successful. It's not for me, I believe cloud isn't there where I would enjoy it. There are many types of gamers, many of whom would like the offerings of firestick. Be well and game on💯

This is the energy the internet needs...
True!! I was not aware about the Xbox since I grew up with Playstation during my childhood. I started to try Xbox using Xbox Series S and Gamepass, now I upgraded to Series X. So using a Xcloud and Series S as entry point is really make sense.
Xbox understands that people will pay for CONVENIENCE if it works well. It’s always been like this. From food to media. Pirating music was absurdly easy and free back in the day. Services started to come out that made it easy to get your favorite music and now we have Spotify. Pirating music died quickly because of that. Microsoft can do the same.
spotify yes... but with movies i doubt... netflix was good in a day... but now we have 8x netflix with each offering something els for the same 8-12$ price... when you add up it's not so good anymore.
Gabe did say piracy is a service problem not a pricing problem.
People will all ways chose convince its why people play on console
@@zerosam5541 Mobile takes up around 50% of gaming by itself while both consoles take up around 15-20%.
I still pirate the shit out of music
Microsoft is making the right moves that the Sony zealots/fanboys are coping and seething.
Microsoft neglecting the Xbox is the right move?
The right move you mean by releasing worst excllusives ever and then rising game pass prices? :D copium
@@ODDEYE_XIIIBut they’re not, quit lying idiot.
@@dr3v240That's exactly what PS did, raised PS+ and didn't give us anything for the price rise.
@@ODDEYE_XIIINeglecting by doing what exactly? Giving us new £$-20-40-70 games, letting consumers play anywhere they want and not needing the Xbox console, sounds good to me, maybe PS should adapt the same idea 💡, oh wait they already are.
All I know is this: They need to bring WoW to Box Gamepass.
The obesity crisis is bad enough
Oh my god yes I never tried it but I want to so badly.
I mean it doesn't make sense for Microsoft to keep losing at Sony's game. Which is primarily console sales. So they are essentially changing the rules of the game to suit their own strengths/interests. Like Cloud and Game Pass. And when they release an Xbox handheld maybe that will be their new strength in hardware.

@@JonBonZombie alright!! We really got something going here. Let’s keep it up
Its a a W, they actually have game pass outside of xbox consoles, somthing phil spencer has been hinting at for years. Similar to when netflix started streaming while still renting out DVDs, this just the beginnig of a new era.
I have 4 kids and they mainly play GP games and Switch. Watching kids gaming habits is indictive of whats to come. Handheld devices and subscription services are the future.
This might be a hot take, but I really don't think most people would miss having their favorite plastic box beside their TVs if game streaming became as reliable as a local experience. We're still far from a completely consoleless gaming world, but if all the issues that plage current game streaming were solved I really thing the majority of people would embrace it and wouldn't look back.
Fuck game streaming
If streaming was a real thing, I would 100% get that along with my PC because internet/servers may not always be up when you want them to be.
It's funny if people who most likely pay monthly fees for their car tell you how billion dollar companies should handle their money 😄
Spawn wave could really learn something here
Xbox does not play under the same rules as the competition, that is why the fanboys are upset, their console war to see who sells the most plastic box is over,Netflix has been around for almost 20 years and it took a while to get to where they are right now, but they were the first and that's where Xbox aims to be the first to offer this service, before the real competition comes.
Xbox boxxed out the competition by buying up the biggest ips.
Need to allow pc gamepass streaming on consoles.
Yes, it's a W for Xbox.
People are finally starting to see Xbox strategy. Just letting you play were you feel the most comfortable at. This is why I feel that somewhere in the future, Xbox will put a standard tier of gamepass on the Playstation and Nintendo consoles.
Unless nintendo and Sony get cuts that ain't happening.
@@sandman45981 I would welcome Gamepass to PlayStation. Some of those new Xbox games look awesome.
No, MS should encircle and engulf them first. They made sure that game sales are not restricted by console sales by going day and date on PC (just like any third party that wants to survive). That doesn't change the need to grow the console base. The lack of or slowing of growth is what is pushing them to "burst at the seams" in the first place. This is a delicate balance, and MS needs to take care not to erode console sales in the hopes of ubiquitous game sales.
Gamepass isn't sustainable because Microsoft raised their prices...
So what was Sony's excuse when they raised the price of PS5 games? Or how about when they jacked the price of PSN without giving you an ounce of extra features? I keep hearing how much money and how successful Sony is, by Colin's logic, Sony would never have needed to raise prices.
Companies raise prices to increase revenue. Doesn't matter if they're doing good or not. Companies do not care for you, they care about your wallet.
There's that funny thing called physical media. Yes, it still exists. Prices on that haven't really gone up. Not at least in my country. For example NHL 24. On launch Day: physical copy €49,95. Digital copy at PS Store €79,95. Guess which one I bought? 😂
@@KarpowSCX They've gone up in my country. You're lucky to live in a place where it hasn't.
But um... Steam also has much more frequent sales, so your little flex here isn't that cool. You paid 50 Euros for a MTX filled Sports game. Have fun with that.
Plus... Good for you? I was gifted a pre-order copy of Resident Evil 4 Remake Gold Edition for Steam for about 20$ less than it sold on Steam. Physical media isn't the only way to find deals. I'm happy you got yourself a nice deal, but you admitted you paid for... a sports game.
@@KarpowSCX Yeah, But Here's A Problem, EVERYONE Is Buying Digital And Everyone Is Saying Xbox Is Dying, PlayStation And Nintendo Are Next, And We'll Own Nothing And You'll Be Happy Will Apply To Video Games!
Back then when Colin Moriarty Destroyed the PlayStation fanboy SaltiestGaming, I had deep respect for the guy. And now it seems he's become one of the people he use to hate... A Sony Pony 😔😞...
He WAS a PS fanboy when the PS Vita was released. When he worked at IGN, he wrote an article called "The PS Vita Is Set To Succeed", He's also worked together with Greg Miller (the guy who said "sell your trash rigs, sit in the couch and press X" and made fun of PC gamers during the TLOU Part 1 PC disaster).
Greg Shiller
@@deliternity Miller is at least joking and can make you laugh at times. Colin is a dbag. Can't watch that dude. He comes from two of the greatest sources of high-grade dbags -- Long Island and Massachusetts. Could only be worse if he also lived in Philly.
Xbox literally said Google stadia was there competition. Not PlayStation. The writing was on the wall
Yeah.
MicroSoft isn't competing against Sony. Sony fans don't like to hear that but the truth is Sony, for now, needs to sell consoles. Its part of their business model.
But as Sony shows, large numbers of consoles sold doesn't necessarily generate profit. The attach rate for PS5 is low. For several reasons, but a big one is because the PS5 is the casual box. Millions of PS5 owners...as per Sonys own reports....own a PS5 but invest in only one franchise. They buy COD. Or MineCraft. Or NBA. Or FIFA.
And they buy little or nothing else. A few million such casuals for each of these franchises soon add up to a very hefty chunk of the PS5 install base.
As far as actually earning money and profit is concerned, that chunk might as well not exist as far as console sales go. PS might, in some situations, actually earn less because of their existence.
And thats why MS isn't competing with Sony. Sony is fighting a war MS and XBox has no interest in.
MS and XBox doesn't need the console. Its important, for now, but it isn't needed.
Music went from Tape and record to CD and then the cloud.
TV and film went from air to cable to streaming across the cloud
Gaming went from tape to disk to CD to digital downloads and now streaming vua the Cloud is on the verge of viability.
MS isn't fighting Sony.
MS is fighting Apple. Meta. Amazon. Netflix. And others.
Its only a matter of time before another one of those giants decides gaming is big enough and profitable enough to invest in. If Apple buys PlayStation then Apple is an overnight monster in console gaming. If Meta buys EA then the same.
MS is rushing to buy and develop gaming content before that happens. But what that future vision doesn't need is consoles. And that is why both Sony and MS are moving to get rid of them and move to an app based future. MS is just a decade ahead on that road.
And that in turn explains why Sony fans hate GamePass.
@@edwardlafferty8796you said absolutely nothing, but typed about a thousand words….😂Billy Madison comes to mind😑😂
Ahhh....a non native speaker and someone who needs more lessons. I'd advise you to study a bit more and then come back and read it.
But I'll be kind and try to sum it up for you.
PS is doomed. Consoles are dying. Streaming is the future and Sony hasn't enough money to play that game.
@edwardlafferty8796 Agreed. Sony doesn't even have enough money to make their own games since they lost that CoD cut, and they're too busy paying other developers to keep games and even cut scenes off of Xbox. Lying Crying Ryan knew what he was talking about when he said, "PS would never recover."
@Thundah_Dome That's because PlayStation are too far ahead of Xbox. Xbox won't catch up now.
This again? Microsoft has GamePass on Meta platforms, PC and Xbox, and soon mobile. All they are doing is to make it as cheap as possible for people to access the app.
Is why they made the Series S and even finance the console bundled with GamePass.
It's already on mobile I been using it for 3 years now lmao. I even met a chick at Starbucks when I playing doom eternal 😂
Also on Samsung TVs, but yeah it's been on mobile for a while now and it works really well if you've got 5g
@@ghostrider2698 i meant full support.
It's funny that people think xbox is dying by diversifying their product offering when that's part of how you grow a business.
They think console sales and exclusives is all that matter yet Xbox is wealthier than Sony to this day for this exact way of thinking
Its a great moment, i think next gen will finally be the kind of progression we havent seen since the N64 to Gamecube days.
the nvidia conference treated me like an apple fan and i bought a 4070 super. im also below 50 iq … typing this on an iphone 15 plus
Moriarty said WHAT?! HUH?! 🤨🤨🤨🤨
Them: Cloud gaming sucks no one uses it.
Also them: XBox on Fire Stick will kill consoles
Can't have it both ways. Pick a lane my boy.
Also, Does gamepass cost too much, or is it welfare pass?
@@ps5blows317 simple some people think A and some think B
It all depends how the streaming works in the end, and how the conditions using the streaming service are,. Stadia failed, because the business model sucked balls, and the latency was bad.
If you sell the streaming service itself as optional method to play a game you already "own" on another device and platform, it may succeed. Because it can be convenient to use it. Just convenient enough, to pay an additional small fee for the service itself.
W
For Xbox
W for gaming & gamers for a lot of not well of families. And big fat L for Moriarty
Xbox has console, mobile, cloud, and PC. A wider net catches more fish. Cloud is only getting more stable and better. The Firestick/Game Pass deal is honestly a gateway drug to stay in the Xbox ecosystem member.
And yet they are struggling to be relevant.
@@barcster2003 relevant? They're doing the best they've ever done. Did you not read what I wrote? They have more users than Playstation. Higher profits. GamePass and the best games lineup period.
in the fashion market the brands usually make brand named clothes and unnamed clothes in the same factory, just don't put the label on the unnamed ones. So they can sell the same stuff to more people and make more money.
That Sony and Ponies do not understand that, is pretty sad.
Fuckin what ? What does this have to do with Sony ?
@@MemeLordCrusader use your brain. it's an analogy to xbox spreading out their ways of how to get games.
@@Soapy-chan oh I thought you meant that they were scaming people.
Microsoft is on the right track as it's the future, and Sony said they are at least 3-4 years behind Microsoft in leaked Sony documents.
Over 80% of gamers played live service games in 2023, so it's quite clear what the disease in gaming is.
Also, how the hell does Game Pass affect game sales on Nintendo, PC and Sony?
Xbox’s ecosystem is gonna Spike even more! Love it.
They can just do a controller that is connected directly to the internet like something stadia was using. There's literally zero lag or near zero lag and you can instantly stream the library of games available.
I'm in the camp if the service is good and is affordable lets use it.
I think somy fanboys don’t understand that Xbox cannot be measured by PlayStation’s limitations.
I loved that Ted talk on Pasta Sauces... really not joking theres a Ted Talk
I play xbox games on my Series X and Steam games on a self built Linux PC. Both work great.
I use X Cloud all the time on my phone and love it. Rarely have connection issues if any. Even played BF2042 through the cloud on my home console and worked well in online play.
I just recently bought a Fire Stick, so when I go to travel, I can bring my GP games with me 🙌
If you like Gamepass, buy it. If you like PlayStation Plus, buy it. If you Like PC Steam, buy it. Game the way you like. It's that easy. If someone else doesn't like your choice, who cares. Enjoy what you like.
Tech games done a report last year saying Sony wants PlayStation on fire sticks 😂😂 consoles don’t make money but games pass will
I got news for ya'
Game Pass still does not make money. They need far more subs.
@@aahzmandiaz2767 got news for u. It makes 3 billion profit a year. It’s in there yearly financials🤦♂️
I play remotely on my phone 60 miles away from home console. If it works remotely, no lag, the Amazon firestick will work flawlessly.
Colin has a major in Art...
... that's the Tweet.
more like a major in ass....
I think is good to lower the price entry for gaming, you can do that with a subscription services and with cloud... So people can see by themselves if this hobby is for them or not. As long as people get to discover genres and games that resonates with them is going to be better for everyone.
You cannot access your library on the Stick. For that reason I'm out
7:36 I agree with Giorgio’s tweet, if gamepass is so controversial then why didn’t we said anything during the blockbuster/gamefly days????
That is a good deal, Controller is about 50 + tax, firestick 40-60 + tax and 17.99(right now- soon 19.99) + tax...that is a deal..
Yea it sure is. Controllers are almost always 60-70$ unless it’s on sale and if you’re just a casual gamer then it works out great.
I use gamepass on my Xbox one and find cloud streaming to be very good, even though my current internet isn't that fast.
people look at alex like a hater when the entire time he’s the only person who is completely unbiased… the dude bought a ps2 lol. if he was a pc fanboy that shit would not be happening
The dude even hates on so many things about pcs, ie windows. People just want to virtue signal
Microsoft low key advocating for universal emulation
I bought the 4k Fire Stick without the subscription and controller for my living room. I tested out my game pass on it and was shocked at how well it was doing for MLB the show and Forza Horizon since streaming those with my internet is usually a bit rough. I feel this partnership is just an easy entry way for people to test game pass out and want to play on an xbox or pc without needing to stream the games.
Nintendo is the only console company that actually makes money on their hardware. And the reason for this is they are always one to two generations behind for a little less price than current generation PS and Xbox...
This gets a big Thumbs up from Miyamoto. This is exactly how Nintendo plays it.
If Microsoft was trying exit making consoles, they wouldn't be releasing three hardware skus and teasing a possible hybrid device or say "it's going to be the biggest technological leap"
I've used xCloud and in my opinion it's not good, it's 1080p but it's a low bit rate so the image doesn't even look 1080p, it needs a lot of work.
My favorite genre are boomer shooter's and i had a rough time playing Boltgun, Turok, Quake and other boomer shooter titles.
If call of duty doesn't bring in a ton of new subscribers and the numbers stay stagnant or barely move, it will hurt gamepass and the idea behind the service.
You Clearly don’t know what you’re talking about Quake was released in 1996 and Quake II in 1997 which makes the game a millennial/Gen Z title, since 1996 was the last year of the millennials and from 1997-2012 were Gen Z…
Soo Quake is not a boomer title.
Warhammer is not a boomer title it is a Millennial and Gen Z title same with Boltgun.
@@SoggyToast506 Look up what the genre boomer shooter is, Doom, Quake, Turok, Dusk, Amid Evil, Hexen, Heretic, Powerslave, Killing Time, PO'ed, Star Wars Dark Forces, are all boomer shooters.
It's not used in the same context to describe the actual age of boomers, you are looking into it from a completely different context that doesn't apply here.
@@wodensthrone5215 just call the old shooters instead of boomers shooters. no one calls them boomers shooters
@SoggyToast506 they're called boomer shooters, it's a genre
I've tried Xbox Cloud Gaming
it's not the best. Now NVIDIA GeForce NOW is perfect. I've not had any issues with it and it's $9.99/month for their base plan. Xbox GamePass Ultimate costs 2x as much and their cloud gaming service is flaky as heck. I wouldn't bother with Microsoft's services at all.
Colin "The Vita is Destined to Outsell the 3DS" Moriarty. Dude looks like Tom Hanks at the end of the movie "Philadelphia" when the AIDS really starts taking hold.
Too soon
I play Game pass all the time whilst I'm at work - the library it offers is vast. And the connection quality is quick, albeit a bit slow in rual areas.
And just to add before the playstation ponies rant and rave; "You're lying, gamepass is pathetically slow!", I'm in the UK, where speeds of 200mbs isn't uncommon. But I'm rich with bewbs so massive, they make OF girls cry.
Colin is clearly saying that people who say games pass is sustainable are like Filipino generals still in the woods.
"The people who are arguing on this hill still."
Xbox fans who are still fighting the console war.
The industry is moving toward an access driven model. The reality is you will get more people into your ecosystem by have more access points. Some will buy an Xbox. Some will buy a PC. Some will use streaming. And for games where it makes sense, they’ll put some of their games on other consoles.
With today’s technology and the changing consumer behavior of today, it makes no sense to have artificial barriers to your ecosystem.
The switch has almost no Microsoft games because the switch is not powerful enough, not because of the gimmick, the switch has no real gimmick other than the fact that it is a hybrid console. The Switch 2 will probably be a bit more powerful than the PS4 and most PS5 games can be played on PS4. I can guarantee you that the First games Nintendo Direct from the Switch 2 will be full with Xbox ports and other third party games such as Square Enix or Sega
And that would work out great. It has to be anywhere from a PS4 to a series S in power at the very least. I’m sure the Steamdeck will still be way more powerful but Nintendo knows its fan base. Not too powerful, special editions and everyone eats it up.
Not just blockbuster. As I kid I convinced my parents to get me the cable Sega genesis adapter. Worked like trash, but damn it was an amazing thing back then. Remember playing Vectorman on it.
History has a habit of repeating itself, remember when they all said the same about Valve’s STEAM was bad for the games industry, because it was becoming a monopoly and decades later it is still here and so is the games industry.
The PS5 touched me inappropriately. When I was taking it out of the box, it brushed against my no-no square.
When I took my Xbox out of its box, it didn't do such a traumatizing thing to me. So, gamepass will always have my support.
I said it once...and say it again.
Blockbuster = Playstation, Netflix = xbox...if you remember how it went down, it can give you pretty much an example of what's really going down (consoles sales aside of course 😏)
Yep
lol digital foundry already got a video showing it’s not in 4k as it always is and the service doesn’t run good with the wait. I have a 4k fire stick but I’m no way in hell going to pay $20 plus tax closer to $25 look idc were you game from but gamepass has destroyed xbox. Xbox wouldn’t be in this mess if they didn’t release day one games on there service and then no one buys there games now they raise price hoping you might buy the service or buy the game idk gamepass is messed up. What happens if they raise it again before cod comes out?
Definitely a shame last place Sony has zero games all gen to compete and their best selling games are all Xbox studio games.
@@ryanb3908 lol last place not what sales show on hardware and user on system also they have more on users playstation playstation plus service 50million idk how Sony is in last place lol I watch this guy because Xbox is a joke and make fun of content creators on here which is a shame when you lie about how good Xbox is doing did you see the quarter my friend on there income both companies made in the past quarters I guess not when Xbox sold 900k units sold for series x/s and next console showing it be down by another 33% PlayStation was on record high revenue but I guess that makes them in last place oh and Xbox would be I.

It's an entry point to the service and will funnel users into their ecosystems. And realistically the good thing about a cloud service is the upgrades for the hardware aren't in the hands of the consumer. Gamepass is looking at 10 years down the line as the overall Internet becomes quicker and more stable. Also partnering with other companies who can provide parts of the service better/cheaper than they can and again it's invisible to the user. It's actually an incredibly smart play that has been successfully used in enterprise sales for years. Now we are reaching the point where consumer Internet isgood enough to support those services whilst not impacting users who want local play and are willing to pay for it.
Why do you slap yourbum at the beginning?
The thing about GPUs is weird but I looked into it myself. TSMC back in the 10 and 20 series days we’re charging around 14 to 16 thousand dollars per silicone wafer at an 80 percent yield that was roughly 170 to 200 bucks a die. Now they’re charging over 30k a wafer with a smaller die process which brings it to just over 400 bucks. Just for the die. GPUs are never going to be as cheap as they used to be
my fiancé thinks i’m cheating on her with you, i don’t disagree
Performance was good with the fire stick but you only get basic features compared to the console. No 5.1 sound no VRR no HDR. it’s a good option if you have a TCL TV and tv speakers. If you have a higher end setup like an OLED and Dolby ATMOS receiver stick to the console.(no pun intended)
The question is how much Xbox or Microsoft pay Amazon to put game Cloud in the fire TV and if that was the reason is now Game Pass more expensive? Xbox is capable of paying Nintendo to put Game Cloud in the switch 2 and how much they need to pay Nintendo and how much the price of Game pass going up?
PS Vita was a good handheld. Just sucks Sony dropped support for it and did the stupid memory card thing. It didn't have the best game line up, just the JRPG games and 1st party games were great experiences that got me through university.
How many videos you putting out this week? Saving up for that series x??
I don't give a damn about who sold the most plastic boxes, I am in team Xbox because Microsoft gave me EVERYTHING I ALWAYS DREAMED OF, and it's called Gamepass.
And the plastic boxes return very little profit, if any. Services and software are the money makers. Xbox makes more on GP in a quarter than they or sony make in profit on a console for it's entire generation.
Xbox is expanding to a streaming service because Satya Nadella told them even if the first party line up was all bangers they still wouldn't be able to pay him back under the current console model.
Do people really think that all price raises are just to become "sustainable"? Xbox could have been making huge profits before but if the money guy comes in and says "hey, you know we could make even more money if we raise the prices" then the price will go up. This is basic capitalism. They're not just trying to break even, they're trying to switch their millions of profit to billions.
Colin's the Japanese soldier fighting the gamepass sustainability fight years later. GP has been out for 7 years and shows no signs of going anywhere. Just because they increased the price does not mean it wasn't nor is it now not sustainable, that's just trying to maximize roi and profit margins. Colin's one of those guys who thinks he's so smart, when in reality he pretty ignorant.
Performance was good with the fire stick but you only get basic features compared to the console. No 5.1 sound no VRR no HDR. it’s a good option if you have a TCL TV and tv speakers. If you have a higher end setup stick to the console.
I think its a good move from them.
It’s a good move for gamers.
Really like the new mic, the old one popped your p's and thus my subs here in the living room harder than a Michael Bay movie
I bought a Fire Stick for my bedroom. I already have GP Ultimate so I thought I'd give it a try. It's actually not bad. I played Forza Horizon 5 and was able to navigate races fairly well. Probably not a good idea to play CoD or anything but I was surprised how reactive it was.
I can see Xbox making a console that blurs the lines between console and PC via making a superconsole, think about it for a minute, a console that is as powerful as the highest spec PC. I'd actually like something like that, if its priced well.
I wish they wld just make a gaming PC and just call it Xbox. Easy. For a reasonable price of course
I've talked about this with friends before, if MS did a hybrid or even just did gaming PCs but the budget style $400-$600 entry level, and people can upgrade it over time; Like the PC community does to our own PCs MS could probably draw a lot more people to their market, give Sony a real run for their money.
Sony would either have to follow suit or shutter their entire console market. I barely ever see any Sony Laptops or computers now adays, and if Sony did follow suit and knowing their practices. They would probably charge double or triple the price of a budget PC for a Budget PC. Sony: this computer cost us $400 charge 1000 for it, this one cost us $600 charge 2 grand for it.
@@TheVoidKingMcRaven $600 would be a perfect price point for an Xbox PC. I would definitely upgrade. I was already thinking of upgrading to a pc
@@pudgy1828 Honestly I think if it were at the exact price the series X is at it'd be a great deal.
@@shadowsagen723 I wish you were joking but knowing Sony that'd be true and sad.
There's one huge problem, data caps from the main internet providers like Comcast.
Not sure what is wrong with USA ISPs. There hasn’t been data caps in Canada for over 10 years. Don’t give those mofos your business get Starlink if you have to no data cap there.
Add ATT to the list I got a nasty gram for getting too close to my data cap recently post an online game sale due to files now taking up 20-100 gigs. Ironically I just got a FireStick and Luna controller combo for around $75 and will be using the Luna service sparingly just to see how the performance is. It’s mostly going to be used for other apps
As far as I understand, most data providers have virtually unlimited caps, mine is like 1tb a month, if you're hitting that...idk what you're doing.
I do at bare minimum 2 tb a month. Grsnted, i have the highest tier with no data cap with xfinity.@@ChiefCrewin
@@ChiefCrewin pretty easy to hit that cap is you're watching 4k videos.
They're not going to stop doing hardware, it's just not the main focus. They'll always have a box of some kind, or a hybrid handheld if the rumors are true. The reason is simple, it's the best way to sell services and games and get all the revenue. They don't want to stop getting money from their 3rd party devs anytime soon, you need hardware for this. Game Pass on the Fire stick is a new entry point and then they can upsell you some hardware later.
Pc gaming is cheap as hell only expensive if you want to play latest game at max graphics setting
I don't know why anyone is surprised that Microsoft values pushing Game Pass more than the console. They're always thinking ahead of the game compared to Sony and Nintendo, which they typically catch hell for. However, if what they are trying proves to be successful, Sony especially will follow suit. Microsoft was pushed this direction though due to lackluster console sales, but I firmly believe it was something they would have introduced anyways given their love for the service model. Plus, it's their out for when consoles cease to exist.
The price hike bothers me for gamepass and the whole no day and date release thing to. So we will have to see how it goes with fire stick.
Xbox is basically diversifying their portfolio
I don't understand all the Fanboying over a plastic box. Video games have always been a software business first! The hardware was just the platform used to promote a companies particular software. This goes all the way back to the Original Nintendo days, when Nintendo had their games locked down via proprietary chips to prevent third party publishers from randomly selling games for Nintendo Consoles. Not to mention, most consoles have a history of being sold at loss, just for a company to make up costs on the backend via software and licensing. Not to mention, Microsoft has always been a software company first and foremost.
Gamepass is good but not for everyone.
Some players only play 1-3 games per year. It is not valuable for these players to spend on gamepass if you won't be playing more games.
Some other players want to "own" their games and not depend from gamepass to play.
Gamepass is great if you play or try new games everytime, but it is not for the FIFA players, Fortnite players or Call of Duty players that will only play that game during the year waiting for the new one.
In the end, the market is not big enough to make it work for Microsoft.
That's my take on this.
Microsoft: we want to give players options. You can go all digital, all physical, or all rental.
Sony: we dont want options. We want our stable of ponies to only buy games at continually higher prices.
Ponies: i hAtE xBoX gAmEpAsS.
Funny to see that NVidia says "the more you Buy, The more You Save". Not True since if You are buying a 40 series, they are all over priced. MS is making things for most players so they can play where they want.
0:03 ALexx just confirmed that he has a Series X😂😂
and a PS5
I think it's great that Microsoft is thinking out of their box. I'm so sick of console cults trying to think their box is better than others.
This is really interesting what Xbox is doing you could not Xbox wants to put Game Pass everywhere if they could put game pass on an orange they would
Only correct answer is we DON't and WON't know if it's successful for a few years. But the media and sites like Digital Foundry will declare it a failure within the first week.
I said it before. Microsoft wants to put GP on whatever they can. And they will.
What's funnier about all of this is that Ponies, at one point we're screaming at the top of their lungs, "Microsoft needs to innovate!" and now they're angry at them for doing what is basically innovating
Colin must not think Sony Playstation is sustainable either, they raise prices all the time.
Not everyone wants a console, NOR a PC. It's about delivering your services to where people are. I don't get why this is so hard to understand?
I loveeeeee gamepass...
