XBOX console - not important

To condense further

XBOX - crucial 

I am with Jumpinbeans, sure Phil is not saying Xbox as a console is unimportant, but you can see the platform MS cares about is shifting to Live/Gamepass. Gamepass is the play to create a Netflix of gaming, and if successful, the exclusives will shift from hardware to online services. You will need the Apple service, the MS service, the EA service, the Sony service, etc to get at each company’s exclusive content.
