People buy consoles because they want access to the content,&rdquo; said Layden.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If you can find a way to get the content into people&rsquo;s homes without a box, then yes, indeed. Everyone has a streaming solution of some form. Most of it is limited by whether you have a decent internet connection. And they haven&rsquo;t constructed the business model that works yet for that.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>And what about the subscription model for video games? Layden doesn&rsquo;t buy that the massive AAA games, which cost in excess of $100 million, can be sustained by launching into services like Game Pass.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s very hard to launch a $120M game on a subscription service charging $9.99 a month,&rdquo; he claimed. &ldquo;You pencil it out, you&rsquo;re going to have to have 500 million subscribers before you start to recoup your investment. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s why right now you need to take a loss-leading position to try to grow that base. But still, if you have only 250 million consoles out there, you&rsquo;re not going to get to half a billion subscribers. So how do you circle that square? Nobody has figured that out yet.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The way forward, according to Layden, is to diversify games so that it attracts new users outside the standard 250 million, and he believes Streamline Media Group has a proven model that can create those games.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/07\/28\/shawn-layden-game-pass-subscription-sustain-120-million-usd-aaa-games\/\">Game Pass can&#8217;t sustain $120M games until it has 500M subscribers, says former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\">VG247<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/07\/28\/shawn-layden-game-pass-subscription-sustain-120-million-usd-aaa-games\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a way to expand the games audience to support the rising costs of the biggest games, but Shawn Layden doesn&rsquo;t think Game Pass is it.
