I want to go back to something you mentioned in the FTC v. Microsoft case. You testified that putting Xbox games on PlayStation means that Sony uses that 30 percent of revenue that they get from those transactions to try to basically kill Xbox or undermine Xbox in certain ways. So why would you want to do more games on that platform if that's the case?

Maybe this is why we're doing four [laughs]. I'm going to learn about our partnership with other platforms. I'm going to learn about what happens with our players. I think it will benefit the games that we're putting there and that's a good thing for us, and if we can use other platforms that have gamers and maybe some of those gamers don't want to play it on PC and don't want to play on Xbox and that can help us grow our business, I think that's great. If the net result is that other things are punitive to the Xbox platform and try to limit our growth, then we'll have to think more carefully about how we support those other platforms.

Lmao at Tom mentioning that quote to Phil

We went to content and services because it's actually more reflective now that Game Pass is kind of at a scale where it's a sustainable, profitable business for us. We don't have to have a discrete focus just on Game Pass, we should really just think about the health of the overall business on Xbox, which is people buying games, subscribing to games, buying items in games, and the things that people do on the platform that drive the business.
