Now imagine that MS makes 4 AAA games a year that cost an average of $80M (some cot more, some cost less), that's $320M to make those 4 games. Now imagine that each game can sell 12M copies in a 12 Month window. And they are sold at an average price of $55 (some buy at $70, some at $60, some at $50 and some at $40). Thats $2.6B+ from just those 4 games. So they make from just 4 AAA games that can sell to around 12M people over 12 months more money than they would make from 20M people paying for GP for 1 year. They turn a $320M investment into a $2.4B return vs a $1B investment into a $1B return (if even that much).

What 4 games are selling 12 million copies each in the same 12 month window?

Yeah, which/how many Xbox (or even PlayStation) first party games reached 12 million (or even 10 million) copies in a 12 month window?

And four of them in the same year? With only minor price cuts? That's... very optimistic.
