The problem MS faces is that GP's largest gateway is likely an Xbox console. They're kind of stuck with it. Good luck with that service on PC with competitors, or on mobile devices barely anyone seriously uses for (core) gaming.

If they are like cinema seats, there's a gap down the back of the seat. That guy behind isn't tasting, he's sniffing them there fingers.
He's Phil's taster.
As you can see, he's licking his fingers because he tastes Phil now and again to see if he is ripe enough or needs to be Phil Spicier.

This company is a shambles. I grew up with xbox and playstation. It was fun times. Xbox and Xbox 360. After that hmm. They never seemed to recover from that Don unveiling of Xbox one. Now what the fuck are they doing jesus.
I'm sure we could all manage that division easily. Clear the dead wood and tumours from the company.
But I'm quite happy playing on the Pro. But we need competition.

Christmas sales, not that complicated. The whole “this is an Xbox” campaign was probably a little premature as well - not everything is actually an Xbox…yet.
I agree, but not about the competition part. If Microsoft is tripping over their dicks and not putting out any meaningful games, who cares? Keep enjoying your Pro.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Should have done $299 Series S bundles with BO6 for the holidays. Would have sold like gangbusters.

There’s no strategy. How is that leadership still employed?
Maybe bundled with one or three months of gamepass non poop tier? Doesn't make sense to actually bundle with bo6 when it's "free" with sub. Fortnite ps5 digital bundle for $375 means the S is a poor value comparatively speaking or even compared to the digital series x (4tflops to 12 tflops for additional $100).

A little premature?
There is literally no changes from early this year on which devices are an Xbox.
Zero changes.
You still need Windows and the Xbox App for native installs on other device for Microsoft Store versions.
You still need Steam for Steam versions.
You still need a web browser for Xbox streaming.
There are still just 4 PS ports.
Microsoft’s PR team seems to think something has changed. Maybe they just found out that they hadn’t actually rolled out whatever they plan to roll out yet. So back to Xbox, oops ??
Yeah, that was my point - nothing has changed, the places you can play Xbox games hasn’t been revolutionized, they’re only trying to create that perception at this point. I do think their PR team jumped the gun but they’re clearly eager to grease the wheels of what’s coming (TV’s with gamepass pre installed, etc)A little premature?

Yeah spot on, it’s such a weird behavior tbh and even big boss Satya went out to talk in an interview about it as well, and yet there is still no changes.
It reminds me about what they did with Xcloud when Stadia was unveiled. They pretended that they were ahead or on the same level as Stadia somehow, but in reality Stadia was so far ahead but MS wanted to pretend that they had the same things ready.
I wonder if they’re doing this in a similar way because Valve is getting ready to roll out Steam to more devices? Maybe they want to pretend that they’re ahead again, when they’re really not at all.
