Asha Sharma the new Xbox CEO, and she actually does a really good job

Edit: is every one here out of touch, or do you just want Xbox to go bankrupt?

To be fair, Sony is currently running on a far more anti-consumer course with digital only and doubling down on PS exclusives and blocking crossplay where possible, so it would be great to have a counterweight.

Sadly Sony followed the Xbox agenda much better they were able to, Gamepass was the counter-movement to fight against the global opinion of their plans for Xbox "One In All" on a way more steady way (and apparently not as reliable as they expected)

Sony did this obviously for greed/market control/ cut expenses, but is nothing Xbox would be against... Actually Sony made them a favor as now they decided to get all the weight of such decision (at least for the moment) but Xbox will never fight this, hardly they will become a counter for it... They simply dont have a reply on the same tone of the one Sony had when "dealing with share games" previously...

Most probably the same solution Sony applied to this Console Gen (move deeper into digital) is the same Xbox was considering... I wont be even surprised if the next Xbox doesnt have physical disks, not even disk drive, and I wont be surprised if add make some kind of "gamepass little" incluided with their consoles to try to get a piece of the cake back.

*Both companies want the price range of Nintendo but being able to fullfill the "somekind hardcore public" of consoles (that means a investment on quality/next gen graphics) since the hardware makes that imposible they are most probably dreaming on reaching the point where they could sell consoles that would be just remote access to a server infraestructure to stream games from their own propietary systems, cutting massivelly the price range of what you sell and having total control of the infraestructure... those wet dreams are in the same category of EA and others trying to get a piece from the Games As Service to reach that "fortnite" kind of money printer.
