Yeah Xbox consoles not Xbox as a service. I fully agree with your point honestly it would be crazy but Xbox would lose its entire identity in the process

Xbox sales without game pass would be abysmal, as would Xbox sales without game pass being exclusive to Microsoft products. What else draws people to Xbox? You could make a case for availability and price (which is why I personally bought a series x), but it’s not the exclusives or the hardware components at the very least.

If they do this they’re pretty much nailing the coffin on Xbox. This is literally the one thing that’s drawing people in to buy an Xbox, nothing else will.
