Why would you count Bethesda? I don’t understand the rationale. It isn’t even like they are the same revenue stream.

The article you linked does not say anything while adding up its word count. It’s common knowledge gaming companies say consoles never make a profit (except Nintendo). Game Pass is a fledgling growing SaaS. Of course sustainable is the right term. Nothing News worthy.

It's an answer to the reply that said they were profitable. They're not. They're 'sustainable'. That's it.

Even if you want to be anal about this. Phil saying the words sustainable doesn’t mean it’s profitable or not. It is just him saying stuff to the public. As if any corporate exec is ever going to be truly honest in public.

Taking away PR words as fact is not sustainable. It doesn’t work.
