Sony holder fast i at store titler kommer senere på PlayStation Plus

Microsoft tilbyder stort set samtlige af deres eksklusive titler på Xbox Game Pass fra selve lanceringsdagen, men selvom at Sony for alvor har udvidet deres tjeneste for nylig, så har de hele tiden stået fast på, at det ikke kommer til at blive spejlet på PlayStation Plus.

Og hvorfor egentlig? Under GI Live fortæller PlayStations egen Shuhei Yoshida, at det er ligesom med store film, der først kommer i biograferne, for så at lande på streamingtjenester:

"We believe in the premium release of titles at launch. The new PS Plus has tiers and essentially it's like the old PS Plus, we still release two or three new games every month, and a new tier, Extra, has a catalogue of hundreds of games for people to play. For Extra, our approach [is] we like to help the publishers [with] lifecycle management."

"I was managing first-party [at PlayStation] so I know that it's like in the movies — a movie comes out at the theatre first, then goes to pay per view, or a subscription service, or free TV, every time generating new revenue and reaching out to a broader audience. In the same kind of way, we believe in the premium release of a title at launch and after maybe six months, or three months, or three years, when the game's sales come down, inclusion into this service, PS Plus Extra, can help introduce these games to new, broader audiences."

Hvad tænker du om den her tilgang?
