There are lots of factors as to why the MS/xbox brand has gone down. Like trying to control the market (buying up everyone) rather than trying to lead it. Or their push for a all digital future thar would of been mainly controlled by them (DRM and GP services). Or the fact they mostly focus on the American audience rather than worldwide. I remember the SPORTS, SPORTS, TV, SPORTS TV E3 show, all of which was American centric focused.

Sadly, MS/xbox have done this to themsel...

I have now officially gotten off ps + for the first time in 10 years

I have serious doubts about that claim, especially after viewing a few pages of your comment history. Your bias against Sony is evident.

Maybe he'll get lucky and get saved by some of that "Bethesda Magic"

Yep, they want everyone on GP. With physical dying off (thanks MS), digital or GP will be they only 2 options available. That is utill MS decides that the next big title must be a GP only title. Then they'll try to kill off digital sales.

Is it demonstrably provable that they would lose money?

I would say yes to that. You only need to look at streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ or any of the other services right now. They are lossing cash ATM in huge amounts.
Having gaming go the same way will end up destroying the industry

Seems familiar, I remember a few years ago about hearing of stores in Germany literally tying copies of Fallout 76 to consoles just weeks after release because the game wasn't selling.
Is this history repeating itself?

"The developers have decided to embrace the fact that players are going to stick with the game for many years and they have decided to make the most out of it."

In short, expect a lot of Creation Club like crap that they'll charge you for.

Didn't MS once say that they believe in "game preservation"? But going all digital how are people meant to play their older games on disc?

Internet historian uses "hide the pain Harold" image. The real Harold I believe is Norwegian/Swedish (could be wrong) and was asked to help a friend out who was selling office furniture by posing for catalogue pictures.
Like anything that gets put on the net, he soon found fame, even if he didn't expect it lol
Historians vids on NMS, Fallout 76 and Cost of Concordia are some of my all time fav vids

We still don't know what the specs are.
What's the CPU? Exactly how much system ram will it have? How much storage if any available for downloading. Any storage expansion available?

It's worth doing some of the challenges as you can earn points. Also earn 10pts for every pound spent.
I saved enough points to get £5 back. Then spent it buying the £5 upgrade to spiderman
