Let’s assume this is true for a min.
How would it make you feel?

I don't think that would be the case because PC parts keep going up in price. Every time a console is released it gets cheaper to buy it vs what you would pay for an equivalent PC at MSRP.

"...where Game Pass exists..."
this could be an olive branch out to Sony to perhaps make them consider putting Game Pass on PlayStation if they're truly trying to get out of the console market.
Phil to Sony: "Look, you guys won. We're getting out of the console market. However, we'd still like to make games and put them on your platform. Let's merge PS+ and Game Pass. What do you say?"
... or some BS like that.

I just want Fall Out 5 on PS in 10 years or however long it takes to come out.

Maybe by the time it is released on PlayStation they can finish it. Most of the “1000 planets” are just lifeless pixels on a map. NG+ is a joke. Travel to a planet to float around in a temple 240 times to upgrade your skills. All the choices are binary and have no effect on the world. It’s a great game on your first playthrough, but it doesn’t have any of the replayability of other Bethesda games.

This is actually a good example of why these rumors don't make sense. An announcement like this would have taken the FTC's arguments against the ABK purchase completely away from them. Why spend all that money fighting the FTC if they were just going to turn around and make an announcement like this now? That deal could have closed in 2022, without the major court battles and without the CEO and multiple executives publicly testifying under oath about internal business practices, if they had simply made a move like this. The timing of this would be quite odd.
If these rumors are true, the most likely reason is Microsoft is going to buy another large publisher and they want to remove the FTC's primary argument from them.

ol' phil must be a master salesman to the MS higher-ups if they make another purchase like the ABK purchase.
i highly doubt that's the case. i bet they're pivoting. they're going in on GamePass and leaving the hardware aspect behind them. you'll be streaming games Apple TV, Rokus, Smart TVs, PSs, Nintendos, phones, tablets, etc.
they'll probably pay "rent" on those devices, but that's got to be cheaper than manufacturing consoles.

You've got it backwards. The "higher ups" are the ones who want to purchase more gaming publishers, but not because of Xbox. They view the mobile gaming space as a huge hole in their portfolio.

Are those random reddit users supposed to be people who know things?

There's nothing to take one way or the other. All we have are unsubstantiated rumors. I just don't think the rumors make logical sense.

the longer this goes without a word from MS/Spencer, the more likely these rumors turn out to be true.
