Yeah man. No one is using it
Yeah no one is using PS NOW, mind you, Gamepass is a success you know, but PSNOW blows.....I've seen people defend untruths so much the last few months it's unsettling...….It's opposites world, high means low, success means failure and vice versa...…..People argue these things even in the face of stats and graphs....It's definitely a bizzaro world.....
What if they triple the userbase of PSnow though by the lower price of entry?
Yeah, that's the plan, right now they need more subs to make as much profit or revenue as before.........Not saying I'm against it, PSNOW needed to expand....I'm just saying they should take the initial loss now before PS5 arrives, which is what they're doing, they will improve the number of PSNOW subs and have a whole library of PS4 games to put on the service by November 2020.....So yes, it's a good thing to lower the price of entry right now...….So it's full on sailing after PS5 comes along, with an overhauled PSN, there will be no limits to the number of subs they can have on the service streaming because they will be on new servers ready for that expansion......
Also, this is great for marketing, no BS, just the games........When people who never played consoles or even game on their PC can now play GOW, UC4 etc.....They have 5-10Mbit connections, they can try since they don't need great PC hardware, and that's another way in which Sony can bring more people into the ecosystem, said folk can look into buying a PS5/PS4 if they like what they play, especially the exclusives, their trophies would transfer as well.........One thing's for sure, we all look at a game like GOW which sold a tonne, yes, but it will continue selling at retail regardless......Games can sell much more than they do, it is now ripe for Sony to expand the market.....and hitting people who never bought consoles, who only have an internet connection on a potatoe PC is a good way to accomplish just that......
Look at RDR2 or GTA5, there are lots of people out there who are willing to buy games or be introduced to games that exist...….PSNOW will be a good marketer for Sony's games in markets which often don't see them......I hope Sony goes bananas on marketing PSNOW as well in the 1 year left before PS5 arrives...….build subs and mindshare like they are going crazy....
