It's more likely they just want playstation players to pay for gamepass game development as gamepass subs can't cover it

That also means they need a place to sell gamepass, which, if they dont have an xbox console, means they would need legal ruling like the eu iOS app store ruling to force Sony to allow them to load their own gamepass store (otherwise pay sony 30% of all gamepass revenue)

Xbox consoles are likely here to stay until they have a place to sell gamepass outside of xbox and pc

Like you said, if gamepass isn't profitable, why do they keep it? What are the advantages?

because their 10 year goal is to replace traditional gaming stores with subscription services, just like netflix did for film and tv, and spotify did for music.

the goal isn't to be profitable today, the goal is to be the de-facto place you play games in ten years. they're fumbling the ball on that really badly is all.
