A big difference. They were doing it to take down Sony. This time around, MS has telegraphed very well where they are headed. Streaming/online services.  That's why XBO HW was not heavily subsidized, but they are willing to lose money on things like Gears 5 to push GamePass with $1 deals.

I think $500 still might be a possibility, but expect more of a $550-$600 price if they really are going with 56 CUs. However, I have seen some crazy suggestions that MS could subsidize it to $399 and win the gen.

I do believe MS is headed towards a streaming and online ecosystem but they still value consoles. That's where the most people play their games. If they didn't care for consoles the Xbox One X wouldn't be a thing and they wouldn't be planning on launching 2 consoles next year.

Yep. Spencer came out a couple days ago and again reinforced their belief that streaming is a convenience but local hardware is always superior. Meaning Xbox hardware. Services don’t matter if you don’t have users to sell them to. They might be banking on Anaconda selling a ton for them though.
