Well what is the benefit of it on the PS4 and XB1? I mean the Switch doesnt have Achievements/Trophies and you couldnt redownload your PSN and XBLA games onto the PS4 and XB1 anyway.

I'm pretty sure somebody already answered but

-Almost every PSP game I bought got transferred to my Vita

-Xbox One BC. I have over 200 digital purchases on Xbox 360. A ton of them run on Xbox One

-Cross buy on PS consoles. I could buy Flower or Journey on PS3 and get updated versions on PS4 or even PSVita.

-A few Xbox 360 games (like Castle Crashers) grant you the free Xbox One version

-All of your paid apps (Netflix, Hulu, etc) are waiting for you on your 8th gen console. You don't even have to sign in again. All of your info carries over.

-Your friends, messages, Trophies, etc carry over.

-If you bought a video or something on PS3/PSP/Vita/Xbox 360, it's in your library on your 8th gen console.

Also, if your console gets lost, broken or stolen, carrying over your account and purchases is a simple matter of signing in on a new console.
