Which would move first to a Game Pass like model - Sony or Nintendo?

I think Playstation will adopt the Game Pass model when game streaming has reached critical mass as a consumption model and they feel confident they can grow to tens of millions of subscriptions in a very short period of time. Their partnership with Azure is a strong signal it’s in their long-term plan. My uneducated guess is that Sony will push Playstation Now upon entering the next generation as a push to expand the Playstation platform, similar to how Xbox did leading up to the current generation.

I’m not sure Nintendo will do it in our lifetimes.

Nintendo are in a delicate position. All it takes is another wii u and they’re gone.

They’ve already lost the whole console and handheld market duology. Switch is keeping them alive in the hardware business but how long will it last.
