I disagree, I think this will make them NOT want to increase their quality either. I dont think Microsoft cares or ever cared about making their own quality stuff at least not on the level of the other two. This way they can make money and not have to do much which is kinda what they've seem to be trying to do since the start of the gen. Now they can be like "well the games arent all that, but its only 10 bucks a month!" Not bad really

Thats the problem, Phil Spencer's true plan can only unfold at this point towards and onward towards next gen. All Phil could do was fix what the past leadership had done. Whatever happens with Gamepass and Xbox next gen is all on Phil. If Gamepass does succeed it will depend upon exclusives to hoist itself up because it will worth its own weight in gold (literally). It would be more profitable than selling games by themselves.

Phil Spencer has been head of Xbox for years now, and he was even head of the dev studios before that. The "it's not his fault, it's all because of the guys before him" excuse has stopped working a long time ago.

 

And if someone says "You can't recover from a launch fail", the PS3 proved that wrong.
