Why would MS take a hit when it's very evident that they have moved on from the console war.  If MS cared, they would have priced dropped the Series X and S a long time ago if they really felt they could make up any market against Sony or Nintendo.  That ship has sailed, and MS has moved on.  Once most of you realize this than you can see where their direction is headed and it's not as a console OEM.  

My bet is that MS drop out of being a console provider and concentrate on building their gaming platform on their strength which is the PC.  Maybe they try going Valve route where you can put your PC into a Xbox gaming mode and deliver a console experience on a PC.

because it's the main driver for gamepass? I see the direction and I don't like it, I would like to continue buying xbox consoles but it's pretty clear they wont be a thing soon.

The problem everytime MS makes a move you guys do not agree with is that you continue to believe MS cares about what you care about.  Its evident MS doesn't believe the Xbox in the future will be the main driver for GP because if they did, they would be making discounts to at least attempt to gain marketshare and they would not be releasing games on PS and Nintendo.  MS believe that GP doesn't need a main console platform but that doesn't mean MS believe that they do not need a piece of hardware.  Its just not going to be a console in the general sense, its going to be a PC.
