Console sells don't matter but software sells does. In fact, Phil Spencer said in a theoretical situation if they can sell fewer consoles, but more software will be ideal. If you buy a ps5 and buy 1 game a year or throw it in the closet it does Sony no good.

This makes sense, since MS is obviously selling their consoles at a loss. Again, software sales this gen pretty much match the console sales, so I don’t get your point why it should be different next gen, especially since MS seems to be pushing for Gamepass now.

If Microsoft were dominating in EU (not u.k.) instead of North America their software attach ratio will be way less. North America is the biggest consumer when it comes to video games for consoles. That's why you even see Japanese developers catering to the west (ffxv) Microsoft dominates Mexico, but they don't buy nearly as much video games.
