Xbox hardware is now aimed to become like the Surface line from Microsoft.
Premium hardware not set to directly compete with the multitude of options you can purchase and utilize their software/services on.
They'll be marketed as "the best place to play" their offerings.
@Boxenberger Problem is, they have taken it from a ‘it’s not much I’ll leave it running in the background and just dip in when needed’ to a decision of ‘at that price am I using it enough to justify paying that sort of money’
Unfortunately for me I’m out and it makes me sad.
The average Xbox user should never think about if Game Pass is profitable. Your choice as a consumer is how you want to spend your money. That is it. You should never worry about companies that do not know you exist.
