they don't care, they only care about the subscription and its numbers.I understand that point...
But from my point of view even in a fire sale Series S is not selling what MS wants in US.
If you slash $50 in your product and put it at the $199 price point and can't sell more than $100-300 expensives products something is wrong.
Series S is just a gateway drug to gamepass and zero games ownership, all digital gaming, and earning MS another subscribed user.
all for under 1/2 the price of PS5, and still getting outsold.
I estimate Series S is over 80% of all series console sales.
in which case, in the enthusiast market, xbox is getting outsold 5:1.
