Xbox gaming missed management's internal annual revenue estimates by $780 million, and also failed to meet expected Xbox Game Pass subscription growth.
It’s crazy that despite being insanely good value and providing first-party titles day 1 on the platform, Xbox Game Pass still isn’t the success it’s expected to be. If it’s not a success now, when will it be? They’re gonna have to bleed money to attract more users, and I don’t think a lot of people are keen on subscriptions being the future of playing video games.
Microsoft can bleed money for a while they try to consolidate a large portion of the market. Hopefully we never see gamepass exclusive games. But I believe it will eventually happen.
