Next gen PS5/XB1SX sales ratio will look the same as this gen's. Huge changes in console marketshare require huge changes in the industry.

Ah yes, again, I forgot....changing the numbers in a math equation leads to the same results. Stupid me. Getting somewhere between 50-70% on retail games is pretty much the same as 100 percent....and we can obviously just go ahead and dismiss that probably around 40% or so of units moved on these 10 million sellers will come from console bundles and various discounts that occur over time. Yep, all the math still adds up to the same outcome.

Guess we won't see Sony transition towards Microsoft's business model throughout this upcoming gen after all. Clearly they'd just lose all kinds of money as a result, so it just doesn't make sense.

You missed his point. The point is that games that go to GamePass on day one don't get more money from the people already subscribed. They get the game without having to shell any more money. While on PS+, those new games won't be available on the service for quite some time, so they're going to sell at full price for a while, making much more money than a game releasing on GamePass. GamePass is 60 bucks a year. How many of that money goes to MS for those games, compared to what goes to all the third parties that have games on the service? 

whats more buyer friendly?
