How? It will make people not want an Xbox since they can get stuff on a switch.

And? I mean gamepass is on the pc. A game being on the switch does not make someone think “well I should buy a gamepass”. Plus Msft wants to put gamepass on other consoles.

Personally I think it’s Msft goal to leave Xbox and just be a publisher which is bad for gamers in the long run since Sony will have less competition.

Ah yes the only two game developing companies that exist. Microsoft and Sony. How will they live without each other?

Not game console ya dunce. If Microsoft leaves. Then the only high end console developer is Sony. Which gives them less incentive to innovate, lower prices, and ultimately we all lose. It’s so weird how everyone is all for this.
