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.

That's the thing though, I'm only talking about its ability to move Xbox consoles, which at this point, 4 years after its launch, has yet to be demonstrated in any way.

Which again, Subscription services take time to build momentum and the Series X (the console in demand) is still sold out. How can we say if it's currently selling systems either way? We just have to see later in the gen once the demand is met.

I can say for myself, Gamepass wasn't worth it the first year or so, but the offerings they've been getting since last year convinced me to jump on.
