It's already been stated by analysts that Game Pass actually boosts hard sales, doesn't hurt them.

Yeah Spencer said it improves game sales too. When a game is on GamePass it gets a lot more exposure on Xbox. It’s on the most played list, it’s talked about on Reddit, it’s played on Mixer and Twitch. 

I can see it selling a lot more when it hits GamePass as streamers and content creators play it. This is especially true for the lesser known titles. Descenders for example, quadrupled in sales thanks to GamePass according to the developers.

Phil counts a download on gamepass, as a sale.
If you instead looked at the store bought (physical and digital) then sales are hurt by it.

But is a sale a sale? disreguard how much it sells for?
How much of gamepass $ goes towards 1 download on gamepass? is it as much as a developer gets if they sell at game in a store?

I think devs get much less from a download on gamepass than a real sale in a store.
