Another person who has been very close to PlayStation over the years commented on potential changes at Microsoft Gaming. David Jaffe believes that Phil Spencer is going in the right direction, because in a few years players will only play subscription games.
David Jaffe’s opinion may once again excite many industry observers, but it should be noted that the creator of the original God of War approached the matter in a completely different way. In his opinion, the Redmond giant, by earning more, will be able to bring much better productions to the market.

Jaffe believes Microsoft is planning well and the change in strategy is “welcome.” All because of the consequences of offering your productions on PlayStation – first of all, everyone will get promising games, and in addition, Xbox will earn more money and will be able to hire better managers, which should have a positive impact on productions.
IN 100%. This is not only acceptable, but desirable. Gamepass (and other subscription services if they are successful) will be a big winner, everyone finally gets games, and Xbox makes more money to hopefully hire good product development managers 🙂

A former PlayStation colleague emphasized that Game Pass is to be like “Netflix for games”, which is why the company may, to some extent, ignore statistics related to console sales – the most important thing is the result of the service. David Jaffe heralds a terrible situation for fans of classic consoles:
Because Xbox makes Game Pass the Netflix of games and that’s all that matters to them. They don’t worry about losing console sales if Game Pass expands. Because in 5-10 years there will be no more consoles, only services.
Because Xbox is establishing Gamepass as Netflix for games and that is all that matters to them. They don’t care about losing console sales if Gamepass grows. Because in 5-10 years, there will be no consoles, only services.

An experienced developer is unable to clearly state when a new era of gaming will come, but he mentions one detail – offering games via Xbox Cloud Gaming works great, and subsequent users experiencing this form of gameplay will not be interested in classic fun on consoles.
It’s hard to say when it will gain enough popularity to become profitable. The hardest part is that many of us have experienced how streaming directly to TV works wonderfully in our homes. And once you experience it, it’s hard to imagine any other future.
It’s hard to know when it will gain enough traction to be viable. The tricky part is, many of us have experienced streaming direct to tv working wonderfully in our homes. And once you have that experience, it’s hard to imagine the future as anything else.
