I was with you until you listed Xbox - their consoles are dying in the market.

They've adopted a strategy of calling everything "gaming" Xbox, and seem to be going all-in on Gamepass subscription revenue along with making their first-party games available on other platforms. I'll be surprised if there is another flagship console following the Series X.

We'll see how that works out for them.



They also just botched a price increase.

Microsoft is floundering right now.


XBox Game Pass looks a lot like the last straw to me. Looks like a(nother) cash grab.
