For reference, Sony was recently boasting that PS5 sold over 80 million copies. This is terrible for Xbox.

    We definitely play on the XSX as a family a lot more than the PS5 that’s collecting dust upstairs. Its smaller form factor makes it much easier to use as a gaming console in our main living area. But yeah, GamePass is a crazy good deal if you know how to use the conversion trick (buy GamePass core for like 2 years for $80-100 from key reseller, then convert it to Ultimate on MS site at a 2:3 ratio or whatever).

    That being said, everyone knows GamePass isn’t sustainable long-term. Microsoft truly is killing their gaming division with such short-sighted planning.

      I don’t think everyone does know that. There’s a very real, perhaps likely, chance that Game Pass is sustainable.
