They have literally had massive amounts of success with this, though. Why would it not be a success on Xbox?
It's more expensive, is competing directly with a service that's cheaper and offers way more content, and they aren't offering a great deal at launch that hasn't already been packaged with other deals in the past, be they free giveaways or heavy discounts.
We'll see how it goes, but after all the waiting and confusion, it's not a particularly attractive offering for a lot of people. It might be cool for new XBox owners who don't sub to GP but really want to get their teeth into the back catalogue, but I'm not sure how big that market actually is, and they don't seem to be offering much to people outside of that group.
