#3Well. I'm not spending $600 on a Xbox + tax, another $100 game pass just to get online play.
And if they want to snap up game studios, they need to start branching out

#4The problem for Xbox is that PS5 has exclusive games, so from the consumer standpoint if you can get the Xbox games on PS5, but can’t get the important PS5 games on Xbox, then why would you buy the Xbox?
Buying an Xbox means no Final Fantasy or Gran Turismo, etc.

#5Just need to allow Xbox consoles to dual boot into Windows 11 and that will solve all demand problems.

I recently cancelled my gamepass subscription as well. They keep raising prices and I wasn't playing any of the games offered. It's honestly a lot cheaper in the long run to just buy games on sale than pay a subscription.

Man, that would absolutely make the console a steal.

This seems like an obvious strategy. Xbox's are basically high-end PCs already, they just need the software and more usb ports. Microsoft could corner the PC market even more than it does already.
Some people would still build their own PCs but I'm sure plenty of people would love a pre-built that doesn't suck.

100% agree. Microsoft owns the de facto premium gaming platform, but has never been able to execute on a strategy that takes advantage of it. The money snapping up studios would have been much better spent putting in an aggressive offer to buy up Valve.

The question is also: why would they sell consoles when they are loss leaders usually?
I guess the 30% off the store, but if people are already either 1) buying it on PC cuz they release on both XBox and PC or 2) buy on PS, what's the point in it anymore?
