Game Pass subscription reduction as pro-consumer is missing the point I think.
That "price reduction" was done by removing the single most valuable thing in the subscription; COD from Day 1. The thing that probably justified recent price increases!
I would bet because they realized they are forgoing money on full-price sales and did not make it up in the hoped-for increase in Game Pass subscribers.
Microsoft is not doing this to "accept a lower margin" and framing it as such to emphasize the point re Sony somewhat undercuts your argument.
CoD didn’t justify the price increase because GP had been on a 8-month decline. Regardless, see your point but would argue that even if it wasn’t out of the kindness of their heart, they still did.
