With Xbox 360, we had a DVD drive for it and hence the games also shipped in a DVD case and that makes sense but now with the Xbox One sporting a blu-ray drive, the game cases for the Xbox One have gotten small compared to the DVD sized game cases of the Xbox 360.
For the first few years of this generation, a number of industry analysts argued Sony may need to add first-party games to PS Plus at launch in order to maintain pace with Xbox Game Pass.
The Japanese giant, to its credit, always maintained its position that this was unsustainable. It later added tiers to its subscription offering, providing good value with PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium without going all-in like its Redmond rival.
Microsoft has since missed a number of targets with its own service, and has subsequently started releasing games like Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Sony’s console.

Not all know. I am betting those observing this while obscured may have trouble comprehending 😅
Back in the day, there were even discussions and I believe statements from Spencer about wether Sony would allow Game Pass on Playstation.
At least for the time being this option seems definitely to be ruled out completely.
New data shows Xbox Cloud Gaming’s most played games match console trends—including major hits like Call of Duty.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer suggest Xbox Game Pass is no longer as important to the business as it once was.
Truth is that it was always sort of a lie. You were getting a couple of “day one” per year but they had trained people to think they were going to get all games day one.
That is just false. It was never even eluded to that any games other than first party would be day one. Also it’s only April and we’ve already got more than “a couple” day one games.
Cmon guy. You really believed all games were coming day one when they've always said 1st party only?
They did it really carefully, i didnt say they ever said “all games are day one” but they created an impression like that was the case. For instance nowhere did people actually see a list of day one games in articles or from MS’s mouth, but they kept saying “all first party” as if the number of day one games was something amazing. Truth is that they were getting a couple of games per year max on average. (Not sure what its like now)
@GhostScholar
Again, not sure what you got this year. But honestly is it even remotely worth it? Also, they get “day ones” on PSPlus as well, just not first party, and they are not paying $20/month for it.
It's not like they could do any differently, it takes a lot of money to keep the Gamepass monster fed, to put the majority of games on there day one is just going to drain too much money. They may have considered it at one point to try and kill off Playstation/Nintendo, but it's not a viable long-term strategy.
I suspect this article will reach 1000 degrees in 30 minutes. Totes.
Just waiting for PS4 for fans to bum rush the comments with claims these images are fake, its all lies and then remind us that COD as well as other games will only be running at 720P and there used to be a big uproar about DRM. Oh yes and kinect is spying on us. I think Ive covered everything lol
This article right here is a perfect example of whats wrong with our society and why we are heading down such a dangerous road.
We have an american corporation trying to put surveillance devices in our homes to watch us at will, and people are more concerned about comparing media cases.
Pointless and Sad.
At this point my hope for humanity is all but gone.
On Topic - O!M!G! You're right! One case IS bigger than the other! *Shakes my head in disbelief*
Diggin the new cases, they got last gen cases terribly wrong....but I love the ps3 like case....looks better then the ps4 one I hate the blue
the case colour look disgustingly bad.
