Microsoft (MSFT) is ramping up its video game sales approach as it prepares to release the next installment of Call of Duty on its Game Pass subscription service. TECHnalysis Research President and Chief Analyst Bob O’Donnell joins industry Domination to discuss the move and what it could signal for the tech firm’s future.
“It’s an evolution of what Microsoft is doing on their gaming enterprise in general,” O’Donnell says of the move. He adds that the Game Pass subscription service has already seen success as subscription models gain popularity.
“It’s all about getting more subscribers,” O’Donnell notes, comparing Game Pass to Netflix in its consistent push to gain and retain subscribers with new offerings.
Microsoft’s Build conference, a developer-focused event, will be held next week. At this event, O’Donnell expects to hear more about Microsoft’s artificial intelligence initiatives and emphasizes the importance of staying a competitor in the industry: “This is the year when AI really starts to have an impact. And then, eventually, we start to see even more of a bottom-line financial impact. We’ve started to see it. I expect we’re going to be seeing more of that over the next 12 to 18 months.”
