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.

I really wouldnt mind playing these games on Playstation. Fine with me. Most of my friends are on Playstation so playing together would be cool. But how is Gamepass a main focus if this change of strategy happens? As far as I know, subscribers are stagnating and not enough. I fail to see how this will draw in more subscribers.

Would like to hear your opinion.

Well, I'm not working for MS so I don't know how they want to push Gamepass but that Gamepass is where they see Xbox's future should be clear or not? They release all their games on this platform, they mention that in every showcase and throw the word Gamepass on us like every 30 seconds...

Maybe MS hopes that more people will subscribe to Gamepass when they buy Xbox games on PS because you first need people to play your games before they will fall in love with them and realize how good Gamepass would be for them? No clue...

More revenue for the games you release will also help to develop more games for Gamepass.
