| VAMatt said: These stories are really not very significant. The important question is whether or not Microsoft is making more money with game pass than they would without it. And this would be very difficult to quantify. Microsoft has changed a lot since they launched game pass, so we don't have past results to look at. We would just have to estimate what things would look like if the service disappeared tomorrow. |
Yeah.
We know Xbox 360 as hardware was sold at a net loss when looking at its whole life, same as every Xbox as far as Microsoft has admitted.
Xbox 360 made a killing in Xbox Live, games, and controllers.
Game Pass is profitable, but how profitable is the question.
