Massive congrats Sony hopefully the numbers go up!
Very solid numbers!
Pretty nice numbers, though nothing earth shattering. It didn't exactly have the best PR at launch, which probably hurt it a bit at first, but I think people are starting to notice how solid the Premium library is.
Considering it was 2M as PSNow it is a considerable growth.
I am sticking to PSN Essential, the best deal in gaming, the monthly games offer is SO good and the fact whatever games I get don't rotate "in and out" like the games in PSN Premium do make a huge difference for me.
Me too, and I don't even do MP games. The games on the library for premium I have all I really care and on the Extra I don't really play older games.
So it seems like they tripled the numbers for the streaming subset when going from PSNow to PS+ extra tier and quite fast. Congrats.
Pretty good numbers, I signed up during the Black Friday sale extended my remaining 5 months plus an additional year. It's a good value, but we'll see where we are at in a year to see if keep it or downgrade back to the base essential. The past 3-4 moths have had great additions, hopefully that continues to be the norm.
That’s $210 million every month.
AAA game cost about the same but take 4-5 years to make….and Sony is dishonest saying they can’t afford to do AAA day 1 releases on the subscription service, which BTW will make those subs numbers a lot higher.
Pretty sure Sony knows infinitely more than you do. Sony cares about revenue, not the Xbox approach of "like and subscribe" to our sub service lol Having 10M+ players paying full price 70$+ will always make more money than any sub service.
Let me tell you a secret. If Sony thought they would make more profit by day and date of all their exclusives on PS+ and PC they would do that. Long term they analyse the profit of that individual entry, subs, platform sale and royalties before making a decision.
