Oh I understood the math but you seem to suggest that Gamepass Ultimate is just $60, which it is not. It's $60 more than Live but the Total price of Gamepass Ultimate is $180 ($15*12).The difference between $10 a month live and $15 a month Gamepass Ultimate is $5, or (12*$5) $60 a year.
Oh sure, going from XBox Gold to XBox Ultimate might have cost you $1 as you said and that's great. However, if a PS Gamer is going to leave PSN and PS behind and follow COD to XBox and Gamepass Ultimate, they won't be paying $1. Ultimately(pun intended) they will be paying $180 for a year. Which ultimately(pun intended) is more than they would pay a year for PSN, which is $60(or 12*$5) if they decide to stay on PS. That extra $5 for Xbox Ultimate per month over Live sure is attractive.I paid 3*55Euro for 3 years Live and changed it to 3 years Game Pass Ultimate for 1Euro. Sure, the deal might change in the future but that is what you can get it now. Even at full price with the games MS has and will add to gamepass it is a good deal for a lot players. Outside of UBI/Bungie/Take2 content there aren't that many multi platform AAA not on gamepass now/soon(activision).
If users can still get, "3*55Euro for 3 years Live and changed it to 3 years Game Pass Ultimate for 1Euro." now then that would be a good deal indeed.
*Edit* From what I see, if you upgrade from Xbox Live to Ultimate, you get one month @ $1 then start paying $15 per month after that. Not sure how the Year Live to Gamepass sub works and as I understood it, it was a limited time offer a year and a bit ago when Gamepass went live. I'm not sure this would apply to new users coming from PS to Xbox. Someone can correct me with a new article about it(like a month or two old).

**Edit** And seems it still works if you buy $180 3 year Live subscription and convert to Ultimate.
