And again, the big picture is they can reach more people on Xbox and Windows combined. They reach more that way than Xbox ever could alone.

Bigger software revenue means more funding and prokects become less risky, more people to push Gamepass on, xCloud will likely be used to push Gamepass as well.

When did gamepass launched? After how long are they planing on keeping that $1 promo going? after a point a profit should be made dont you think?

I really think untill they say how many actual subcribed members they have who pay a full price, can we say if they are gaining any headway. Like it was said before, if for $1 i can try it for a month, play the one game that interested me and never look back, just seems shady to me that MS sees that as a succes and counts it as a "download" of said game as if its the only metric that counts.

You're making an a bad assumption. You have the impression everybody using Gamepass did so for $1 and somehow everybody stays on the service for $1 a month.

Two things, Phil essentially said it has millions of subscribers, they claim its a great success and games generate revenue from actual sales as well.

Your definition of shady seems to be incorrect. That implies MS is misleading people to subscribe or something. Giving download numbers simply shows people are engaged with their software.

I remember people assumed PS Now had millions of subscribers. Eventually Sony did release the numbers in a report and it was under a million. So why is hard to believe Gamepass could have millions of subscribers when its highly praised for offering AAA content at launch?
