I don't get what is supposed to be the "Damage" even if rumors turn out true.

I mean Xbox has already moved way past comparing hardware sales numbers to measure success, they did so the moment they decided to release all games on PC and then on Steam, and this move is only bad when you desperately hold off on the idea of comparing hardware unit sold as the measure of success.

MS Ips will be way stronger as a result and the Xbox hardware is doomed narrative is quite an extrapolation at this point.

Can you explain how this will be beneficial to Xbox hardware sales and especially the Xbox ecosystem?

Wouldn't it be better for a consumer to leave the Xbox ecosystem?  

Xbox hardware sales won't increase but the community playing Xbox games will. I mean, I don't own an Xbox console anymore and I'm still an Xbox user who's in the Xbox ecosystem so why should the Xbox ecosystem shrink when more people can play Xbox games? 

Sometimes I have the feeling it personally hurts you guys if more people can play the same games. You lose a console you need for your games, you don't lose the games. 

Should be pretty obvious that Gamepass is MS's main focus. That is where MS sees an healthy Xbox ecosystem even if millions won't buy an Xbox anymore because they get Gamepass through other ways or because they won't subscribe to Gamepass.
