It doesn't ahaha, there's no way Game Pass makes any money. MS have money to burn they're playing the long game and it'll be profitable in a few years maybe.

Game Pass boost digital sales and MS makes more money from digial sales that is an increase in revenue due to gamepass.  Plus I'm pretty sure they get a nice percentage from when people that have Game Pass end up buying some of the games on it digital the same deal applies for the paid DLC for  Game Pass games.  Also most of the games on Game Pass where already profitable before they got added to it so it doesn't cost MS a lot to add those to Game Pass.

Any evidence of this? As far as I'm aware people use game pass for the games on game pass. 

People with game pass buying games on game pass? I'm not sure what you mean there if you have game pass you have unlimited access to the games on there.

With them paying for every game that is on game pass and then the full cost of their first party games have to be also made back on game pass I very much doubt it's a profitable service right now. They need sheer volume of users to turn a profit on the service. Like Netflix gradually increases the price and needs as many users on as many devices as possible, Microsoft needs to do the same.

Microsoft can afford to absorb that cost as well as the other costs of making and running a Console, Sony cannot which is why you won't see them respond in the same way.
