I think the Next Xbox should be a premium price console

They are better off going 3rd party and having an xbox service for windows PCs for the high end specs and release a controller and lower specs for PS and Nintendo. Remove all their games from other services like steam and put it on their own one that comes with windows.

Xbox is 3rd party now.

But they still need a gamepass delivery machine.

Only if they care more about growing gamepass for its potential.... which is many many years down the road in the future,
than actually profits from selling software/games can generate (here and now).

Its like that they don't.... well of course they care.... but not to the degree they are willing to give up making money (that just being a 3rd party publisher could bring in).

As it stands, now. I think they care more about their big publishing studios and their potential to sell games,
than they do about gamepass or their own console hardware.  That's basically what I'm trying to say.

So right now, xbox priorities are like this:
big publishing houses doing well (selling as 3rd party) > game-pass potential in future > console hardware.


If game-pass or consoles sales get in the way..... they could be cut.
That is how I think xbox views things, after spending those $70-80bn on building up their studios.
The value of their studios, currently is more important than anything, for xbox.

So basically, if they get things going at a good pace, software wise and selling games.
They won't give two sh*ts about game-pass imo.

How many projects have Microsoft closed down? Who's to say that game-pass won't just be another one such?
