They really seem to believe every gamer cares about Call of Duty games, while so many gamers flocked to a service like Gamepass because they cared about all kinds of different fun genres to try out and enjoy.

Call of Duty holds absolutely zero value to me and many others.

These decisions about the gaming industry these past few years have been made by suits who just look at spreadsheets and buzzwords, and have absolutely no clue about what kind of industry they're in, and what ('classic') gamers want (from a console) ... which is a wide variety of games across different genres.

These suits just want everyone to stick to 2-3 genres they can sell to you as a service or subscription so they can keep monetizing the exact same thing over a longer period of time, and that simply is just never going to work, at all.

The industry is truly in a depressing era right now. Just look at a game like Forza Motorsport (full-scale SP career mode with plenty of tracks and cars) to see what was and what is now left of it (Always Online, barebones minimum of tracks, focus on online MP, etc) a hollow glossy shell of former greatness, because instead of releasing a game, they want to sell you a service and add stuff over the years to come ...)

Unless these studio-execs wise up about what a game console is, and what it should offer to most of us gamers, our hopes is now on indie-devs, as well as devs from emerging markets to pick up on these opportunities.

Everybody wants Xbox to fail then gets mad at them when the lack of growth of its products/services lead to closures. I read the comments. Everybody hates on box and celebrates when sales hardware sales drop or when it ends up in 3rd place for that quarter. I’ve experienced the shit talking firsthand. Everybody celebrated gamepass growth slowing down… well. This is the other side of that. You can’t want Xbox to fail then be mad at them when that starts becoming a possibility. Time to be grownups if you’re going to join the conversation.
