The data literally says otherwise... Which even though the thread has mostly shut down these arguments on its own, is the whole "GP is bad for devs/publishers" and "GP kills game sales" and "GP isn't profitable" etc. etc. despite the data showing games on Game Pass still sell just fine on their own while increasing the sub counts for GP.  The data simply says, "money" which is the only thing these companies are after.

I literally never said anything about any of those things.

I said it's not turning the tide of the console war, which is true; PS5 is still easily outselling Xbox Series in spite of many claiming that Game Pass would be a killer app that would turn the sales war in Xbox's favour.

Whether you're slyly shifting the goal post or not: the large part of the console war IS all of those things I said that many fanboys argue against Game Pass.  Game Pass is part of the console war, and the data is shutting down the "against" arguments.  And with Xbox embracing "any device" (well, other than Nintendo/PlayStation lol), you're choosing a particular metric for the sake of argument while ignoring the bigger status of how "gamers" try to mystify and downplay Game Pass simply due to the lack of basic math
