Xcloud is whatever we the consumer say it is. If it’s adopted by the tens of millions then that changes things. If it remains a niche option then MS will recognize that too. As for now, it’s an option, something extra. 

I can see Game Pass coming to Nintendo as they have a great relationship but they aren’t a direct competitor either. I don’t think Sony will ever allow GP even if MS wants to. 

You realize people will still buy games outright? Game Pass isn’t alone in generating profit for Xbox. Steam and the PC space in general will also go a ways to making up the difference. Remember this isn’t PlayStation where all games are only available on one console. Xbox revenue streams come from several places to overall generate profit. 

People are still talking like this is traditional Playstation Vs Xbox thing. They didn't just spend 7.5B to keep them exclusive to SX and boost console sales. MS has given up on that a long time ago and are going in a completely different direction. Truth is, Xbox is now an app and MS wants everybody to have access to it. I mean would it even matter if GP will be on ps5 or not if comes pre installed on smart TVs?

MS is banking on becoming the Netflix of gaming, meaning they want everyone - no matter what device you're on - to have access to their service.

I get more then most when I say Xbox wants to lower barriers to play their games. Consoles are still the most viable source of GP subs. That’s why they made 2 Xbox Skus to technically Sony’s 1. MS is actually MORE invested into consoles then Sony is because that’s the easiest way to get a sub. That’s what’s Series S is for. Facts are facts 2 consoles > 1.
