That doesn't make sense. Gamepass is 18M out of 50M XB1, and not every game appears on it, so why would the entire XB userbase wait for Gamepass.
The point is, these software splits have become even more lopsided for Playstation. What was once 60:40 is now 70:30 pushing 80:20. The UK is the the second most competitive market for Xbox. If its 70:30 in the UK, its 85:15 in the EU and its 99:1 in Asia.
Most of the revenue and exclusives come from having the most third party sales and the face its getting worse for Xbox is not a good sign.
Gamepass is not picking up the slack. We have no revenue numbers and Playstation's revenue is dominating Xbox's revenue just as it was before, so Gamepass has not made any ground there.
Playstation makes like $10B more than Nintendo. Not sure what monopoly you see Nintendo have. Nintendo sells the most software by far but thats not a monopoly. A monopoly is calculated on total market share.
