That’s been the motto of video game console makers basically since the beginning of time, they want vendor lock-in. We are starting to see things shift a little bit. Microsoft is becoming a software company over hardware wanting their games to be on every platform.(GamePass is amazing. I say this as a PS fan boy) Sony is starting to follow suit with PC release these days. Helldivers stands out as the only game I can think of they have released same day on PC and not 6 months to a year later.
Nintendo will always be eccentric it’s kind of been their thing since the release of the NES. No one thought the NES would sell and basically had to give retailed their games and be paid back later by the retail stores. Just accept Nintendo for being a little different than everyone else and that’s okay to be a little bit of a snowflake. We need something/one a little different

And its been one of their biggest successes because of it.
Sony, despite being the leader in the “high performance console market”, are a follower. If Xbox does something now, you can be sure Sony will do it 5+ years later.

Well put! I like Nintendo for what it is. I don’t like everything it does, but, a lot of it. And, a lot of it is excellent.
