Why? It's a service that caters to the console gamer. 

It's value for money for a great product. Is that not what the core concept for a console has become? 

That's an easy one. Gamepass isn't giving you more games. It is giving you cheaper games.  There are no gamepass exclusive games.

You'd be giving up Playstation games (exclusives, or games simply not on the xbox) for cheaper games.

Of course once MSs studios starts pumping out games, a lot are coming out in 2020 alone, the day 1 perk and $1 deals leads to a increasingly higher adoption rate.

Word of mouth does the rest. It’s a slow but steady growth and once enough games come out (that aren’t available on PS), the service in itself can become a system seller
