Nintendo has tons of games that sell 30M at full price, Mario Kart, Super Mario, Zelda, Smash, Animal Crossing. Had Xbox had those kind of sales, gamepass would just be throwing money away. But the reality is gamepass is their only option now. If you don't make big budget games that tens of millions of people are willing to pay full price for, the best other option you have is to get them to subscribe instead. |
I'm pretty sure some of those games you mentioned were bundled. Xbox does have Activision Blizzard now, but still puts their games on game pass. Diablo, WoW, OW, COD, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Minecraft ect. The problem is AAA games are now ridiculously expensive.
MS needed another revenue stream which is where game pass comes in. Similar to Sony putting their games on PC and looks like Xbox/ Nintendo soon as well.
