Considering both the series X and PS5 are selling out whatever stock they have, not sure how you're coming to this conclusion, especially after 6 months. I mean, even if Gamepass is getting people interested there's more than just buying the series x|s consoles and the subscribers are going up pretty darn fast so idk if it's just a "rave on forums" thing, lots of casuals I know have heard about it.

Playstation will continue being successful but there's a chance Xbox can get their share of the pie too.

GamePass has been out quite a bit longer than the Xbox Series, it sure didn't give Xbox One a second wind. And the Series S isn't sold out, you can get it all over the world; if Gamepass was such a killer app why wouldn't people opt for the cheaper way to access it?

Same reason people are buying the series X over the S? Not everyone wants the cheapest option, subscription services take time to build, GP is just now gaining on word of mouth and good press, I never implied it was a killer app, but the growth is there and it has potential to be one.

The marketshare potential of the xbox series, and the "killer app" status of Gamepass is way too early to call. And the cheapest option with be Mobile and PC (if you already have one) which wouldn't impact console sales anyways if people want to go that route.
