  1.  @WingMaker2050  Not everyone game the same. Sometimes, I don't play for months, or even a a couple of years, and sometimes I'll game like 5hrs a day for a month. I tend to jump in and play non-stop for online multiplayers which require other active players, but tend to hoard single player games into my backlog thinking I can wait. I don't like the idea of letting my subscription months dictate when I game. If I'm in the mood to game now, I want to game. If I'm not, I'm not. Don't tell me I have or have not subscription, need or need not get subscription for today. I just want to look at my backlog, choose a game and play.

  2. No one is forced to buy PS5 Pro. I just got mine last week. I was still on PS4 up until then. It's like no one needs to wear $500 mountaineering grade jacket for a walk in the park, but people do it anyways.

  3. Microsoft has so much money that it wrote off this gaming venture as marketing costs for Microsoft brand. It was so from the start. Microsoft wasn't expecting to made much from it. Microsoft was seen as old and non-innovative at one point. Xbox venture made Microsoft look like a capable partner for "younger" tech, like robotics, autonomous systems for cars, A.I., etc.
