If Xbox Series S is 100$ cheaper than PS5 All-Digital, does Xbox have a legitimate chance of outselling PS5 this gen?

If that were the case, then sony should be shitting their pants.

That bolded part can't be bolded enough. You've got a next gen console with access to "every new Xbox Studios game, and a few old games here and there that makes their way to the service increasing said library. That's a very very very important disclaimer.

If, take for instance, MS were to announce that Cyberpunk would be available on game pass on day one, then nextgen is over before it begins. Thts what MS(and your statement) would want gamepass to be. And until that's what it is, it's not going to be surprising anyone, cause if it would have, it would already be doing that. There has been sub $250 Xbox with gamepass for the last 3 years you know? Gamepass launched in June 2017 IIRC.

Yes, the Xbox One. No point in buying an XB1 when you've got a Playstation 4. This though? Is a new console. Giving people a huge backlog and value at $9.99? Again, Xbox could prove us all wrong.

The bigger point would be to look at the long game. If XBSS is $299 now, imagine in 3 years time. $199 next gen gaming?...

Even if Game Pass isn't seen as a major draw in general, consumers will be willing to give it a try at these prices. The more who try, the better chance at the user base growing overall.

XBSS can do well based on it's price and cheap offerings like Game Pass alone. XBSS can do a lot more if MS get's their first party in order.
