Before the Xbox Next will arrive, there's probably at least 6 quarter reports and two fiscal year reports left.

I am really wondering, almost worrying, what we will be witnessing once they are published.

In their last, probably best ever fiscal year report, they showed 21.5bn revenue including ABK with decent hardware sales, comparatively to today.

With declining hardware sales, GP probably cannibilizing sales, GP not really growing and even lesser 3rd party revenue, I wonder where that last 21.5bn figure will drop to.

Theres been talk of upwards of 80% sales loss due to GP.
Like if your game is on xbox, and on gamepass.... it sells near 80% less than it would normally without being on GP.

I saw a video on yt, talking about this subject.... supposedly that number was from devs.
GP massivily cuts sales if your on there, for your xbox port/game.

Another reason they might want to put their games on other platforms.
Even if gamepass can "pay" for that loss in profits, by way of subscription prices paying for it.... its probably not that much more profitable (if any) than just selling the games normally.

People just look at the subcription revenue and go "ahh profits".
But no... that money made, goes back into the studios, to fund more games, just like traditional sales, generateing revenue would.
