Xbox live becoming free is the only thing that'll make me switch from ps4 to xbobe.


Pay walls only split the player base.

That would actually be a genius move and get them to recover from what they've done while also putting a large leg over Sony. I would at the very least purchase a bone if that happens.

Will never happen. Microsoft makes too much money from Live subscriptions to ever get rid of it. Sony makes bank on PSN too.

pay to play subscriptions and "value added services" are the future. There's no escaping it

Why would Sony or Microsoft make their service free when millions of people willingly purchase it?

Online being free was really the only reason I got a PS3 first during that gen. Did get a 360 later but never played online on it. Don't have a current gen console and I don't plan on getting one anytime soon. But one making the online free would certainly make me consider it.

Also is it possible for the OG Xbox, PS2, and GC to have fan made servers and online that way? I'm one of the 5 people that actually played PS2 online and I kind of miss it. Playing online in an emulator just isn't the same, the emulator's kind of shit still.

If they did that, it would legitimately have a shot at reviving the xbox.

Then again, with all the exclusive shit xbox has live it would take a MASSIVE fuckup on sony's part to get them to lose the already massive userbase that they have. Unless these rumors about these mid-gen revision models are true I don't see anyone making a switch at this point.
>>
>>340836594
Are you retarded? It's because the Xbone is getting crushed right now. Microsoft just cut the price to be cheaper than a PS4 and making Xbox Live free (and probably making GwG it's own thing like PS+ before the PS4) makes a lot of sense to attract new customers.

All the Xbone needs is better console exclusives now.
>>
>>340836007
There is no way this is happening. Microsoft would be stupid to do this and they are a greedy company anyways.

Even if they did it wouldn't matter to me since there best games are now past them. Going free would have been best around 2007-2012(3). Now I could care less.
>>
Would be nice. But don't forget the PS3 had free online and it still got its ass kicked by the 360.
>>
>>340842152
Except it didn't. That was only in the first few years. Afterwards PS3 caught up and I believe even outsold 360 by a little.

yeah right, like microsoft would give up such a reliable, constant revenue stream

Xbox Live only makes them money if there are a lot of consoles sold. That simply isn't the case, they need to expand their install base first.

nothing exclusive but there are larger communities for MKX, I would argue destiny, DOOM right now, db xenoverse in the west, and a few other games have bigger concentrations of players on xbone than elsewhere.

call of duty, too. Still sells better on xbone than ps4.

No, that's retarded. Microsoft needs a competitive edge over Sony, doing the same thing as Sony is not a competitive edge.

>>340842517
depends. They could market to high value advertising agencies and make like $3 an ad for those really long obnoxious 2 minute ads, or they can shit out those 30 second mobile phone type unity ads and make a few cents.

Either way the ad money would add up, but it would need to be an alternative system, not just something they put in, because people WOULD complain if they're paying for a system and have to deal with fucking ads. And I mean real ads not those retarded benign ads you see in the console stores.

They are still getting subs from 360. Unless a massive number of people cancelled in recent years.

I haven't had gold in years now. In fact last time I played my 360 was when I played through the campaings of Halo 1-3 and then found a two week gold in my reach. It was a fun week but shame Halo 3's numbers are so low.

>>340842280
do you really think they would cut off such a steady stream of revenue to sell a few more consoles this far into the generation?
>>
>>340842840
Which is the point. Hypothetically if Xbox Live goes free and still includes games with gold, that would actually be an unbeatable value. Nobody could resist a $300 box that's essentially a mid range gaming PC that comes with a lot of free games. And even without games with gold, it would still make the Xbone a better value than the PS4 and at the very least, a lot of parents would buy it for their children because of that.
>>
>>340842840
If someone's already bought their year or whatever the fuck of online pass, why would they switch to a new console? When the time rolls around to resub, they're gonna say "ehh... Do I really wanna rebuy the system PLUS my games? And all my friends are here too..." and just resub. It's how it worked on 360.

>>340842978
That's what I was getting at. They'd turn the xbox store into some sort of mobile shitfest. That'd be the only major source of revenue they would have left. And I highly, highly doubt they'd do that because forcing your paying customers to watch ads just to continue playing is a bullet in your fucking face.
>>
>>340843028
Yes. That steady stream of revenue isn't a steady stream of revenue at all if the install base is shit.

OP is a huge fag, like usual.
But right now, Microsoft has got a really big issue to clarify.
They are merging Xbox and Win10, mixing together consoles and PC with the same games. But while Xbox owners have to pay to play online, win10 users can play for free.
Many users complained about this and Microsoft still have to give a proper answer.

So they can:
>Make live gold officially free for both PC and consoles
>Force PC players to pay for Live gold like console users (lol)
>Transform Live Gold in a premium service like PS+ on ps3, online play is free forboth consoleand PC players but theycan subscribe to get free games each month and other services
Both the first and last possibilities would totally spin the good PR machine towards Microsoft, like it already happened for backwards compatibility.

Gears of War 4 is coming out, and it's shaping up to be pretty fantastic. Gears franchise in general has always had the most addictive multiplayer imo with tons of depth.

>>340842762
This. The PS4 userbase is already pretty overwhelming and most people don't have enough money/don't see the need to own 2 consoles and buy games for both.
>>
>>340843135
>win10 users can play for free.

This is false. Win10 users have to install win10, even paying the sub fee for Live is better than that.
>>
>>340843413
They can compromise though. Make Xbox live free, but keep GwG as a paid subscription. People love subscription services these days, if they advertised the Xbone as having FREE online and paying like $5 a month to get four free games a month (two Xbone games, two 360 games), they could increase their revenue stream a lot.
>>
I could see it happening. Everyone knows that its a rip off and despite better sales it put off a lot of people from buying as PS4 as well

Backwards Comp + Free Online are the thing that could safe their failed system
>>
>>340843565
We're still pretty early in the gen, there's a lot of people who haven't bought a PS4 or Xbox One yet. I doubt Microsoft would be targeting PS4 owners with this, they'd be targeting new customers and idorts.

Terrible

The reason you pay for xbox live, is so that games don't charge for individual online services. Look it up. Microsoft talked about this back with the original xbox
>>
I have no problem with paid online if it ensures better servers. PSN stability and speeds have always been complete shit. OG XBL was very unified, solid and broke new ground. The 360 XBL was just amazing, great download speeds, community, updates. I dont have an xbone so I cant comment but im sure its at least as good as the 360. Even when paying for ps+, psn still sucks. But it is infinitely better than it was with the shitty PS3. If 5 bucks a month is to much for you then maybe gaming really isnt the hobby for you. Then again this is just r/masterrace who pirates everythings on their moms 5 year old laptops and call themselves hardcore gamers

Its called damage control. The system nearly completely bombed on release with the always online controversy + forced kinect. Them backpadeling this much is only done to safe face.

Every company is only looking out for their shareholders. Sony is no different. At least Microsoft is willing to change their course due to consumer feedback. My point is not that Microsoft is good, it's that they're not worse than anyone else.

They really perfected the console controller in my opinion. It fits in the hands perfectly and is nothing but improvements over the 360.

Pay walls hardly matter for consoles. I've always been of the firm belief that if you're buying a console and the games for it, the subscription is just a drop in the hat.
No fucking way I'd buy an xbone just because it has a free online service, and I suspect most others wouldn't fall for it either.
It'd pretty much only be useful for keeping the people who already own one so they don't drop it once their sub runs out
garbage console in general with an amount of good games that isn't worth it.

Theyre only doing these "right" steps because sony forced their hand. A dominant microsoft is much worse than a dominant sony. The ps3 reveal and everything about it sucked ass sure, but it wasnt some dystopia drm box that the xbone originally was. All because of how succesful the 360 was.

What? You can keep games from GwG even after your live subscription ends.
>>
>>340846859
And Sony's strategy is to let Microsoft take all the bad PR and copy them. If they weren't just as malicious as Microsoft, they wouldn't ride their dick so hard.

Because its so transparent, their attempts. If these "nice gestures" the xbone has had completely turned it around and made it stomp the ps4, then you can be assured the next xbox would reintroduce the features the original xbone intended to have. Microsoft is a terrible company. As far as gaming goes, they peaked at around 2008 or 9. Once they revealed the kinect and started rolling for multimedia features, xbox tv. that was it. And if it wasnt for sony and the ps4, they wouldve kept rolling down that path with no one left to stop them. Competition is good. But microsoft is bad.

But XBOX Live is already free. It's Gold that costs money.

>>340847191
But you can't play them. I got a month of Gold for free in an email, and downloaded Sunset Overdrive and Lords of the Fallen, and after my month ran out, I couldn't play them anymore. It's ridiculous.

Sony is better than microsoft yes. Whether thats saying much is up to you. The PS4 is the only console this gen worth owning and it will utterly destroy the xbone when this gen is over. As gaming machines, the original xbox and the 360 were great, company be damned. But the ps2 was better still and the ps3 will always forever be worthless and only for playing movies and anime weeaboo garbage for permanent virgins. I do not see much in the ps4 but I know it will trump the xbone in just about every conceivable way besides server security/stability/speeds.

Free online has to be the new standard
. It's bonkers that you have to pay for online you already pay for. They should have a tier system where you get games every month for people that want that. Outside of that, make online free. Good point, it does split the fan base and a lot of smaller and older games don't get matchmaking because no one that plays them pays for live

>>340849036

Same with Shu Yoshida's. Someone at Sega raped these people with just how much they hate other consoles.

Sonyggers are a mental illness

>>340849283
Sonyggers like you have to be the most corporately blind and absolutely brainwashed morons I've ever seen. Next to Mac fags, you guys take the award for dumbest shills . Sony can blatantly raise the price of pan to 100$ a month without improving anything and you'd happily abide.

xbox live is having free weekends very often now, I assume they are testing for a free version of live with add's, and a paid version without.

just right now xbox live is free from 9 to 12 of June with rocket league also free (ends today)

Literally only reason to own a ps3 was free online.

Xbox actually has games and more games being announced Monday so they have more leverage. Also, it's selling wayyyyy better than the ps3 was at the same timeframe. Not to mention this years e3 isn't gonna nothing but lies like song is doing

>>340850089

Go look at any Sony twitter feed. The amount of people defending sony for any jew move is unreal and some are still screaming "DELTE THIS" at metacritic. They have some serious childhood issues and inferiority complexes. Even the slightest mention of PC Gaming or Nintendo triggers them.

>>340850193

>CWC is a Sonygger

Nintendo fans were always the biggest on the playground. Sony secondaries were the autistic kids just licked their boots and prayed they wouldn't have their lunch money stolen by the Nintendo fans.

What a fucking joke, if i met the person who made this shit irl I'd break his fucking neck.

They'd charge you fucks for every breath you take if they knew it wouldn't lose them customers. The fact that they ever thought this shit was acceptable condemns them to eternal "worse than Hitler" status.

That would be nice. If online was free, and the paid version removed ads, gave you GwG (and possibly improved it), and hopefully they added a few more goodies to entice people to subscribe to it.
