Feels like they were too busy focusing on VR 2.0 and ps4 style console exclusives, and were not prepared at all for the shift in the industry that game pass is causing. Now the only thing they can do is try to block MS while they play catch up.

I know Sony is still the market leader by a fair bit, but i think they might be in a bit of trouble here, more than people realize.

They absolutely were, but that's the benefit of Microsoft being a software services company going up against a traditional console manufacturer: legitimate innovation in the market that competitors have to handle.

I'm not sure how much of the positive online discourse about game pass actually translates to market share though. I know a fair few people who bought a PS5 and only one person who bought a new Xbox, or two if you include me.

Having said that I am in the UK which tends to be a bit more Playstation leaning than the US.

Sony hasn't been worried about Xbox since the 360, and rightfully so.
Gamepass has been a thing for years now, and if it were going to cause anything it would have happened by now.

What's funny is that gamepass is extremely similar to the always online streaming only nature that the Xbox one was supposed to have

I was considering going Xbox this gen, but I ultimately decided against getting any new console (at least for now) and bought an Ayaneo 2 instead (same kind of thing as Steam Deck, bit more powerful, not so oversized).

Ps Extra is good now... It just doesn't have Day One games like game pass. Game pass is certainly still winning but PS extra is getting stronger.

Gamepass has been around for five or six years already.
If you're still "taken by surprise", that's on you now.
