What are they doing to drive the industry forward?
Xbox are giving more to the developer's, Xbox have created a compelling, content rich and incredible value for money subscription service. Xcloud is growing and once integrated into Gamepass will be the premier game streaming service. Xbox are the only platform owner that releases all first party games on console and PC day one. Cross platform play, saves etc, they are giving players a choice and not trying to lock them in to one platform.
I don't need to own an Xbox to play Microsoft games and their biggest IP's, they don't force me to buy their latest box and that's why I think they are leading the industry forward.
Your words:
"Phil is a pioneer and visionary, Sony and Nintendo are living in the past and happy doing the same old thing"
Again, The Switch and PSVR would like a word with you.
Sony and Nintendo were doing cross play before the PS4 and XBO came out.
Sony started doing a downloadable games service on the PS3.
Sony has been doing game streaming since the PS3.
Releasing first party games day one on a game service is about the only thing that makes Game Pass any different than other services before it. Hell, EAAccess was out long before Game Pass.....started out on consoles on XBO...... and had a big library.
Again, Its ok if your preferred platform, company does things you like.
There's no need to try to dismiss what the others are doing to prop your fav company up tho.
