***"They were already playing 40% more games before Game Pass, now they're still doing it"***
Nothing in the article supports this statement.
The very first paragraph of the article:
"Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass are buying more titles and trying a wider variety of genres than they did before joining."
Agostino Simonetta also shared this

"I think chris is saying that the average game pass player plays 40% more games than the average gamer as a whole, Hes saying that people arent playing 40% more games now that they have game pass"
They are playing 40% more games at a highly reduced price.
@Christopher
"Those consumers who are more likely to get into GamePass were paying 40% more than the average"
Paying or playing?
That's a very good point :)
@Gangsta
Ghosts 'n Goblins, Yes!
This one completely slipped my mind, but agree would make for a superb remake.
Only question is do they remain faithful to the original the way BloodStained ROTN did it, or modernize the game by remaking in 3D?
Great news!
Fully agree with @RpgSama,
A next generation Dino Crisis made using the RE / MT Framework engine would be a game I'd be very interested in playing.
You only have to look at the movement and animation of the creatures in MHW to see how great this game could potentially be.

"Can get a pre owned xbox one for around that....."
If we're going to start moving the goalposts then I can buy a pre owned Elite controller for around £65 / $83
@Gangsta
Here have a disagree ;)
@sampsonon
"what's with the thumbs down? did i offend someone?"
I wasn't the one that gave you the downvote but to answer your question it probably has something to do with this comment you made
"how many controllers has Xbox had this gen? How many does a person need?"
It comes across as passive aggresive, and implies that MS expects one person to buy multiple controllers, when in reality M...
Really pleased for the designer in the video,
You can tell he's passionate about his work and really proud of his product.
@Takwin
"I will definitely use it for all single player PC games (which is my main focus), and I think they have really outdone themselves."
Kudos again Takwin, I completely missed this part of your post, please ignore this part of mine;
"The controller also works natively on PC via Bluetooth as do all the new model Xbox controllers.
Being an Microsoft controller it's also the most widely used and compatible ...
@RpgSama
"Or you can buy a Switch Lite now for $200"
You can use an Xbox controller natively on a Switch Lite?
@Wicked
"If I were like a professional e-sports player, MAYBE. But as a casual gamer, the standard issued controller is fine."
Thats why it's called the 'Elite'.
I'm not implying that it's for everyone, it's clearly targeted at ...
@Stanjara
"Wow, way to sell a product"
I'm not trying to sell a product Stanjara, I'm giving an honest, unbiased opinion based on my experience with the original Elite controller.
I don't subscribe to fanboy wars, I don't worship at the corporate alter of Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo, though I do own an X, a Pro, a Switch and a pretty decent gaming PC
I'm happy to give credit where it'...
@Takwin
"I don't own an XBOX and won't, as I'm all PS4, Switch, and PC"
The controller also works natively on PC via Bluetooth as do all the new model Xbox controllers.
Being an Microsoft controller it's also the most widely used and compatible across PC games.
"Kudos Microsoft. They have checked off every box and I think the price is fair"
Kudos to you Takwin, because des...
@rlow1
"Glad they spent the time improving it"
This.
The old Elite controller was based off the original Xbox One controller that had shoulder buttons that failed after a few thousand clicks.
Microsoft have replaced mine three times already (even though its out of warranty) but I've now taken to buying replacement parts from Amazon for a few £'s each as its an easy repair and quicker than the tu...

What console are you playing on that costs $180?
@Christopher
I understand the theory behind false equivalence, I know it exists and I know how it can be used.
My issue is that although false equivalence could be at play in the reporting of this data, it is simply speculation on your part when you state that it is. There is nothing within the data presented in the article that supports what you have written. Further to this, looking at the data referenced in the article there is compelling evidence to s...
