Hating Game Pass Makes You Look Foolish

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.

The problem with this point is that people are way to concentrated on the Console War.  GP is not going to change the console war because MS is not invested in the console war.  GP scope is beyond the console and the prize MS is looking at is gaming in General.  They are looking at every device that can play games and want GP on it.  Its the reason you have a browser extension to play GP on any device.  Its the reason MS will be coming out with a Dongle for GP.  We also probably will see integration on a TV soon.  The difference between GP and PS Now is that Sony does not want PS Now to compete with PS hardware and only really offer it on such hardware.  MS has already decided that GP will not be tied to any hardware and does not care if it competes with Xbox hardware.  The 2 companies are in totally different paths when it comes to their services which is why when people view everything through the "Console War" lens they only see a narrow view of what MS is going for.

The kind of posts I'm referring to though, were definitely talking about console sales.
