People keep forgetting, console makers make most of the revenue in software sales, for example a gamepass subscriber can subscribe to the service for a monthly fee, no console required, want a dedicated console instead , Microsoft has a console, other example , call of duty black ops 6, Microsoft will make revenue from the following sources.....gamespass subscribers including Microtransactions from people who will play on gamespass...game sales on xbox, playstation, steam / pc and Nintendo in the future, including Microtransactions,...fees from licences from other cloud service providers Microtransactions included,..as long as Microsoft continues to make consoles the gaming division as a whole will continue to be profitable , specifically after the aftermath of all the studio purchases fully start pulling revenue from new ips and new installments of pre existing ips like Doom...
Microsoft has no power over third party publisher,..lost of games have licenses for specific consoles, like ps3/xbox30, Microsoft had to do a lot of legal work to make third party game backwards compatible staring during the xbox one era,I would love to play need for speed most wanted 2005 on my xbox series x , but car manufacturers, music holders and EA won't allow it , all of them have to approve it, just to make backwards compatible.
Maybe gaming news outlets should require a log in from the platform they are covering like xbox account or Microsoft account, some people from other platforms just come here to insult our community and brand loyalty, just because we dont want to buy the competitor's console or games.
