If Patcher says this I expect XBOX to go out of business soon.

So it will be closed down in a year. Classical Pachter.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
He did say the Activision acquisition will go through, many users laughed at that back then.

I think that's extreme obviously. Gamepass has always had the potential to experience exponential growth. The amount you get for the money is pretty much unrivaled. If MS studios are in a regular release rhythm over the next decade along with Call of Duty on it, it's not like it's impossible.
Is it likely? No, not really. But if for some reason it finally caught on it's available nearly ubiquitously and would be easy to pick up for people if they want, on PC, phones, TVs, browsers, console, and maybe a handheld coming up. I mean Disney+ is complete shit and that somehow has 149 million, and 10 years is a long time.
It really just comes down to consumers actually deciding they want it in large numbers. It's possible but we really haven't seen that yet. Even 100 million would be shocking at this point. I think they may have a shot at substantial growth when Call of Duty hits the service if they actually invest in substantial, expensive mainstream advertising for like 2 years.

GAAS absolutely crushes GamePass. GAAS gamers don't care about playing hundreds of less interesting games.
Pachter is still a fool who doesn't realize what era we're in.

To reach 200 million likely needs to be on Switch as well would be my guess

The vast majority of gamers only play 3-4 games per year. And that includes F2P games like Warzone, Fortnite, and Apex Legends. To think casual gamers will pay 200$+ per year a year for a subscription service is ridiculous. Gamepass only caters to hardcore gamers because it isn't worth it for the vast majority of gamers
And, even in a quarter where Microsoft got the hottest game in the world(Palworld) as a console exclusive, their console sales plummeted. Not to mention 10's of millions deciding to buy it on steam instead of through Gamepass.
It will become very apparent by late this year, when Microsoft realizes that even releasing COD on gamepass won't dramatically change their console or gamepass subscription numbers

200 million?! How? Pc has little growth (i actually use it on pc) or at least that is my understanding. How could they even get close to those kind of numbers?
My thoughts exactly. Netflix went from 34M to 200M in around 7 years. So gamepass doing it in 10 years is really wishful thinking.

If you consider every screen an xbox/gamepass user, sure.

Would be God damn hilarious if he was right about this too.
No way it ever hits 200m.
