Microsoft, Sony, and even Nintendo with its live service would be beaten at the pole by an opponent we didn’t see coming.
At least that’s what Sports Interactive Games, the studio behind Football Manager, says. Because according to the statements of its director Miles Jacobson, the Xbox Game Pass, the PS Plus and the Nintendo Switch Online would be plucked from the apple giant and its Apple Arcade.
Apple Arcade, more subscribers than Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus combined?
The man actually explains at iMore that Apple’s online service would have a subscriber count approaching 100 million users. At least that’s what he would have heard back then football coach 23 is about to join the platform.
I’ve been told nine digit subscribers I have no idea if those numbers are correct or not.
A huge number that would then far exceed that of the competition. The latest news, Xbox Game Pass has just over 25 million subscribers, while Nintendo Online reports more than 36 million and PS Plus around 46 million.
At the moment, however, there is nothing to suggest that the figures given are correct. Even if the Apple Arcade regularly offers trial offers lasting several months and the price shown at 4.99 dollars per month has not changed by an iota since the start in 2019, this number of subscribers remains absolutely huge. On the other hand, the Apple Arcade is available on almost all of the brand’s platforms. And in the latest reports, the company had more than 1.8 billion devices in circulation. Suffice it to say that the exhibition is huge.
