Growth of the subs (gamepass) is also lagging behind the Q4/Year results for Xbox have been quite lukewarm.

Hmmm that makes me wonder, is there a point where Gamepass subscriptions could reach a similar saturation to the one we see with TV subscriptions and experience subsequent decline ?

I think in console the GP is near saturation (the change of gold to GP will increase the numbers again but no real growth), the PC it probably still have some good room for growth. The real route for it to grow is really smartphone/smartv.

The scapegoat FFXVI might see an increase in the US since the bundle is $50 off alongside the other disc bundles.

Funniest is that SE had an increase in revenue (that didn't offset the much higher increase in cost - due to other areas that had nothing to do with FFXVI, and the report itself sounds like FFXVI already paid itself so it is pure profit from now on). The game sold within their projections, just didn't hit the high end, well it is expected if you say something will be from 2M to 4M let's say is because you expect it to not really hit either of the extremes and be closer to the middle if not you would increase the range and change the center.
