Sony, in other words, is relying on an older business model that emphasizes a physical console and premium exclusive content Microsoft is leaving that strategy behind and adopting a new, more accessible, more wide-ranging approach that could theoretically lead to the end of that console as we know it entirely.

Sony believes that offering their premium AAA exclusives for free on day one with the new PlayStation Plus / Now hybrid service would be bad for business, and I think the company is probably correct in that assessment. I don’t think Sony should adopt Microsoft’s strategy necessarily. These are two different strategies and, in my opinion, both have their merits.
You can play Xbox games on your PC, your tablet, your phone (even a smart fridge!) Microsoft also has All Access which helps gamers finance a new console plus Game Pass, making it easier to afford. In other words, Microsoft’s strategy relies much less on exclusive video games for the Xbox Platform and much more on accessibility to its games via Game Pass and the cloud. Xbox Is Changing Its Approach To Console Gamingīut I’ve also made a side-argument that Xbox is moving beyond the console wars entirely-that Xbox as a console that we physically place in our homes is something that is slowly transitioning into a platform built on Xbox Game Pass and Cloud Gaming.

So you might as well get just a PC and a PlayStation and a Nintendo Switch. Xbox, as a console, is much less appealing in large part because all of Microsoft’s exclusives are also on PC. Why buy a PlayStation? Because that’s the only place you can play Uncharted 4 and Demon’s Souls and so forth. I’ve argued in the past that Sony’s primary strength is its focus on top-notch, AAA quality PlayStation exclusives. Xbox is in deep trouble, we are told, because the Xbox release landscape is now so barren compared to Sony ’s 2022. Still, PlayStation zealots, always eager to wage the console war, have latched onto these delays as proof that Xbox is the inferior platform. Delays can help avoid the worst of the backlash. Many of these titles make up for it by releasing updates and DLC that helps fix the game over time, but often the damage is done.
