i honestly believe if xbox can market gamepass in countries like japan, china, places like the middle east and india they could take over more market share there. Most people in india and middle east dont even know about gamepass, Specifically india where the income is low, and more importantly game prices and console prices are even higher than the west. If you put the concept of gamepass in front of people it can make a real difference. As amazing as cloud streaming through an app on a tv is as a concept the internet infrastructure just isnt there in places like these.
According to that leaked playstion powerpoint slide its really smart of sony to go after the indian market with pc releases of their terrific first party games. Sony has got the eye on the ball.
Most people in the middle east buy playstation for fifa or call of duty, the concept of buying an xbox and getting a fifa ever year through gamepass just sounds foreign to them. Ms might be competitive in NA but they’re dropping the ball in places outside of it, and its really a shame because they actually have a great pitch for their ecosystem now.
