Reply to comment by cannabisarus in People say physical media is dead? Microsoft disagree. by its_muh_username

Did you not read? Phil Spencer said Games Pass is just 15% of Xbox's revenue and that way more people still prefer buying physical copies than they do join Games Pass. And he thinks Games Pass has reached its peak in terms of subscribers on console.

Yes I read it. Gamepass is still the bread and butter of why people join Xbox especially nowadays. It’s their main marketing tool. Physical is garbage and dying I assure you this. I’m sure digital sales dwarf physical and it’s not even close. Shit on steam you can’t even by physical games and look how poppin that joint is. It’s the standard for buying pc games.

But it's not. Phil Spencer said that way more people still buy physical.copies than they do join Games Pass, even on Xbox. Games Pass is just 15% of Xboxs revenue. So it's not the bread and butter. To be Xboxs bread and butter it needs to be over 50%. Even free to play and microtransactions across Fortnite and Fall Guys brings Xbox more money than games pass.
