It’s clear Microsoft is confident it’s on the right track. Surely he’d rather sell more consoles than Sony, that’s obvious, but as things stand it doesn’t look bad Because, what if North Americans were considering a future victory against Sony in a console market without new consoles? Could this be possible?
Microsoft offers good results
It is paradoxical to see how, after the end of the console shortage, Sony topped the sales chart multiplying its PS5 fleet at a rate that Xbox Series X|S cannot keep up with. However, this does not seem to change the face of Phil Spencer, convinced that they are right and that the others are wrong, unlike an opponent who seems to have seen what he is up to and who wants to torpedo him. the Japaneses they smell like toastOh, they are not equipped for a battle of these dimensions.
Indeed, the key to this move has a name: Xbox Game Pass. The subscription service with over 450 games On both Xbox and PC, it’s not only sweet candy for users who want to have a massive library of builds to play, but it also includes one element that’s clearly differential: Xbox Cloud Gaming.
The cloud subscription is what saves the Microsoft accounts in the field of video games because, in the last presentation of the accounts, Those of Satya Nadella recognized a 30% drop in hardware sales but an increase in Xbox Game Pass revenue of 3%. That is to say, the company is moving towards a presence in the console market…without consoles?
Microsoft and its decade in the cloud
Satya Nadella took office in February 2014 with a fixed idea: to move his old boxed products to the cloud. Everyone to the servers cloud, without exception, and video games are following the same path. In this spirit, it gives the whole impression that the commitment to Xbox Game Pass is first and foremost a commitment to Xbox Cloud Gaming and all the doors it is able to open because, unlike other alternatives, it is a totally transversal service.
You don’t need a PC, or an Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S to enjoy its huge catalog of games in the cloud: just a screen to project that content on, whether it’s a mobile phone, a tablet or a Smart Televisions such as Samsung, which thanks to the Gaming Hub are able to enjoy these more than 450 titles available. SO, It doesn’t matter if you have a non-Microsoft console, you can be part of the Xbox family even if they never release a new device again.
It is obvious that the gaming experience gains much more from enjoying it locally with an Xbox or a PC, but to some bad North Americans might be able to sell their Game Pass product on its own. And that game, which could take place in the not-too-distant future, is what Sony saw…which took it off the wrong foot after the Activision-Blizzard takeover. And we’re not surprised that he put all his efforts into stopping Phil Spencer’s men, because if such a theory is true, PlayStation could suffer a lot.
