What I REALLY wish we could compare is PS5 users vs. Xbox Series S + Series X + PC Windows/Gamepass users. That would paint the actual accurate picture between who is paying Microsoft to game vs. who is paying Sony to game. Sony doesn't divide its userbase amongst console and PC gamers, whereas Microsoft does, and yet we are only comparing console sales. I know this is basically impossible lol but still it frustrates me we can't know the ACTUAL comparisons.
If Xbox Series S/X were literally the ONLY way to play MS studio games, I'm 100% certain Xbox console sales would be higher than they are and will be in the future. However, I think the route they are going will lead to more growth in the industry (having the option to be a PC gamer, more choice = more consumers) and more profitability. Great business decision on their end, but sadly people will only compare console vs. console sales and completely ignore all the money they are getting from their PC gamer base.

Bold: I don't think 100% of people people who are PC gamers would stop playing on PC to get a Xbox
They are getting Game Pass because it's cheap. Personally if I was a PC gamer I would still have GP and I have zero interest in Xbox and Microsoft games

I didn't say 100% of people would, but I do believe the majority of the gaming population do not have BOTH a gaming console AND a gaming pc. Do most people have a pc? Sure, but most PCs can't play the modern games coming out on consoles well, let alone at all. Microsoft has millions, perhaps tens of millions (especially in the future with the growth), more users that either buy their game exclusively on Windows store OR subscribe to Gamepass PC. Most can't afford a gaming PC and a console.
