To me, I just feel like they've resigned to the fact they're losing this next gen console war, and have tried to mitigate against it. If console sales isn't a focus, wouldn't it be more profitable for them not to even build a console, and focus on getting Game Pass on as many other platforms as possible (ie. PC, PS5, Switch, and mobile)?
