Feel like xbox doesn't care much about marketshare since their new strategy is turning everything into an xbox, which is probably why there was next to no deals this christmas. Can't help but to think this new vision for xbox will eventually bite them in the ass but I guess we will see lol

They had those deals in Thanksgiving/Black Friday week last month.

I dont think they care for marketshare since they hold Activision/Blizzard, Bethesda and a few others IPs which will likely net them revenue and profit.

They are likely bleeding money from the hardware all these years and the higher ups are wanting a much better return.

Its possible that they could take the entire Xbox ecosystem and make it like Steam except much more accessible since Steam is mainly accessible through 3 platforms right now (Windows, Mac and Linux).

Huh, maybe it was just my timeline I saw almost nothing for xbox, some good PS5 deals tho almost snagged one. Only problem with losing more and more marketshare is developers will skip xbox more than they already do. That sucks as a consumer invested into the ecosystem but I guess it remains to be seen. Gamepass's main driver is the console so it's really in their best interest to keep the platform alive, plus they make a good amount on 3rd party sales, mtx, etc. Hopefully they give people a reason to buy the next xbox
