"Star" failed to log on to Sony PS5, and Microsoft believes that the revenue growth driven by XGP can offset the loss.
CTOnews.com, July 14, according to the court documents of FTC v. Microsoft, Microsoft had predicted that the total sales of "Star" and "Raiders" on the PS5 platform would exceed 1000 million, but after "Star" and "Raiders" cancelled their landing on the PS5 platform, Microsoft thought it could make up for this loss through Xbox Game Pass.
In a new document focusing on FTC's final fact-finding, FTC quoted Microsoft's chief financial officer, Tim Stuart, as saying that Microsoft believes it can take advantage of Game Pass to increase console sales to offset the loss to ZeniMax (its Bethesda) by making the two games exclusive, according to IGN.
