GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I remember when someone predicted it would have 80 million users….gamepass predictions have always been shit.
Also, Game Pass' $5.5 billion would make up approximately 35% of Xbox's annual FY23 revenues of $15.47 billion.
FY 2023 ended June 2023, and the revenue profile doesn’t include the boost from the Activision acquisition, so this stat is quite meaningless.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The OP's confidence, or rather his churro, was commendable.
Literally what Costco just did. Called inflation.

$26.44 CDN a month (price +15% tax) is absolutely hilarious for even a good game output let alone what they have been doing.

But Costco has though they’ve raised the membership prices and items it’s just not dramatic lol
Inflation isn't a 25-33% increase, its 3% this year. Inflation is the lowest it's been since they aleady raised prices in 2023 too. US had higher inflation in 2021 to 2023. If you were fighting inflation you would do it when you first increased price. Not on the downwards trajectory of inflation and 10x more than actual inflation.
Costco raised them 8% in 7 years and is still below inflation. $60 7 years ago is worth $76 today. $65/year is lower than this.
The gamepass increase is 25-33% in 1 year. This isn't related to inflation. $14.99/month last year would only be $15.49/month accounting for inflation. A $0.50 increase at 3.3%.

I don't think that's doable unless GTA 6 is day one on gp and that would cost them billions

Watering down the service while increasing prices is likely to cause subscriptions to decline imo. I get they’re trying to cast as large of a net as possible by putting GP on other devices, but I doubt it’s going to do much.
Gamepass ultimate launched in 2019. It’s been 5 years. In 5 years a 33% increase does not seem that outrageous.Inflation isn't a 25-33% increase, its 3% this year.

Inflation is also compounded. So if it goes up 8% one year at 15. Then the next year its 16.2. Another 7% on 16.2 is 17.33. An so on.
Except you're ignoring that the 33% doesn't include the increase that happened just last year which was itself a 20% increase so 20% and then a further 33%. My calculations of $76 and $0.5 include any compounding anyway too. Vp = Vf / (1 + r / n)^nt. You're making excuses.

What are you talking about?
2019 15
2023 17
2024 20
That’s 33% total. Where do you get your numbers from?
And excuses? Why would I make excuses for a multi trillion dollar company. I’m just trying to teach an idiot how numbers work.
You're looking at the wrong thing that's why. I gave you a range of increases. The ~33% is not on ultimate. Even using ultimate compounded from 2019 you're 11% above inflation it would be ~$18. Now do Gamepass standard though and tell me it's just inflation. Compounded inflation again even from 2019 would be just ~$12 today. Not $14.99 and losing day 1 games.

In the universe MS expects to happen, Biden gets re-elected.

Would love a universe with Kennedy tho but I don't think there is a universe like that sadly.
Gamepass standard includes online as well. Gamepass previously did not. Agree they shouldn’t have combined the two but it’s not the same service, therefore you can’t compare the two.

It does seem impressive.
Playstation Game Gaas expected to make $7 billion though.

I mean this is why I can't take any "professional" stock advice seriously, if they were so good at picking stocks, why aren't they all billionaires?
So you see that it's not just inflation then. Its above it on all tiers even ones that are the same plus the structural changes that remove day one. You see that $76 and $0.5 includes compounding already since its from the last price increases? So what numbers were you "teaching an idiot"?
Brother, you’ve lost your damn mind. I’m not wasting any more time on this conversation.
