If that was the case they'd just drop making consoles and put GamePass on PS5. Of course they want you to buy a new console. And history has proven again and again and again that people flock to the platform with the most must-have exclusive games. Every. time.
A more precise quote from head of Xbox Phil Spencer:

Speaking on an episode of Gary Whitta’s Animal Talking podcast, Spencer said,
“If selling more consoles than Sony and Nintendo was our approach, we wouldn’t put our games on PC.
We wouldn’t put our games on Xbox One; we wouldn’t do xCloud and allow people to play games on their phones.”

“How many consoles do I sell versus how many consoles does another company sell,’”
he added. “Sony or Nintendo or other companies back in the day, that’s not our approach.”
