Jacob S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Just a few days ago, Michael Pachter recently gave his thoughts on Nintendo and its hybrid device over on at Gamingbolt.com to which many people were left scratching their heads over some of his points. During the snip-it before posting the actual interview, Mr. Pachter stated that he doesn’t quite understand the entire Switch concept and that the idea of a hybrid device may not have been the best route to take and also claiming that Nintendo themselves aren’t all that smart to continue to treat their current generation console as both a handheld and a home system. There have been many dictators since these claims were made online and while there were many points that felt a bit out of touch, there is some truth to be found in Mr. Pachter’s words regarding the Nintendo Switch and its potential longevity as a prominent console in the gaming market."
Sony kicks off PS Plus' 15th anniversary by chatting with Game File about the past, present and future of its gaming subscription service: Talking price, catalogue tweaks and where the PS3 games are.
Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.
When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.
Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.
If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.
Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more
Went back to essential a few months ago. I’m buying more physical and it has helped in finishing more games.
Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.
*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.
Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!
Extra has been getting worse and worse each month. I've had it since it's launch and it's been great to play some games I may not have played but the selection has been declining rapidly for a while now. My sub runs out in August and I'll be going back to essential. They actually add games to that which are more appealing.
Nice choice. I agree!
Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!
cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.

clearly sales prove otherwise Mr Pachter. Keep doing what you do best, not knowing the industry.
Mr. Pachter is the type of analyst that will probably lose all of your money.
