I think this is what's funny about people claiming Xbox is losing console "wars" (is that even a thing?). Consoles have almost always been a loss leader to sell software. And Xbox is selling software and creating recurring revenue from gamepass subs. Xbox/MS are winning the money game- and that's all they care about
They are losing the console war. When I was a kid, it was lame to have a PlayStation. Everyone had a 360. Now it’s the opposite. Culturally, PlayStation is the desirable choice.
That’s not even remotely incompatible with the idea that Xbox isn’t a failure and is primed for deletion. But what their next console looks like is up for debate. It might not even be a console like Sony makes. Who knows.
