“Microsoft has wide pockets”: Michael Packter commented on Sony’s lack of a full-fledged competitor to Game Pass

Company Microsoft continues to actively develop the service Xbox Game Passadding more and more games to its library and making it an incredibly tempting proposition for a wide variety of users. Against this background, many hope that Sony will roll out a full-fledged answer to the Americans on Playstation 5, but its representatives say that there are no such plans yet… And famous analyst Michael Packter believes that the Japanese corporation will not dare to do this in the future either, because it cannot afford to lose as much money as Microsoft spends on the development of the initiative.

Pakter also noted that Sony already has PlayStation Now, even if he suffers from weak support and lack of active promotion.

“U [Sony] there is such a service, they just advertise it badly. They have PS Now. But it suffers from a modest library of titles and a lack of new releases. This is the problem, Microsoft is constantly updating Game Pass with new products, and Sony does not want to do that, “explained Pakter.

At the same time, the specialist emphasizes that the difference in approach Microsoft and Sony lies in the amount of funds that the company is ready to spend on the development of their gaming departments. Command Playstation simply cannot take risks by investing huge resources in a service that may not pay off…

“There is a question – will Sony take the path of Microsoft? I don’t think Microsoft is getting [с Game Pass] significant profit, so it is difficult to call their tactics an effective business solution. The company has wide pockets and can afford all sorts of things, but for Sony the situation is completely different. In this sense, one cannot but praise them – they know how to take balanced actions in relation to the development of their gaming business. Therefore, if you try to characterize the main reason [почему у Sony нет своего Game Pass] – these are economic realities, within which such a service does not represent [для Sony] special meaning “, – concluded Pakter.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will be released in November 2023…
