Spot the odd one out
Normalised growth (Xbox is at 1.6, Netflix is at 20)
YoY Rev growth (Prime, Netflix, Spotify at 20-30%, Xbox at single digits)
All on one graph
So no Gamepass is not the Netflix of gaming. Not even close. Until it starts growing like actual successful sub services (Prime, Spotify, Netflix), Xbox is still following the console platform business model Playstation uses.
And the reason Gamepass hasn't taken off like Netflix is because the economics and creative distribution in videogames is worlds apart to music or tv.
