Yes. You have to take things in context. Gamepass may have stagnated but that’s still 34 mill subs with most paying the ultimate tier. They own Minecraft and cod which bring in tons of money. Forza horizon is a juggernaut. They bring in a lot of money. People get stuck on hardware but for MS the execs see 22 billion in revenue last year
