And this is the reason Sony will become IMO the only relevant console manufacturer for 3rd party developers for the next couple of generations, while classic console cycles will exist. MS will go in every direction their OS dictates, as they should, but this will guarantee that they will always have a far smaller install base with their home console then Sony.
Nintendo still has a good chance to attract Japanese developers if their NX gamble pays off, but they will mostly survive on the strength of their own IPs.
Sony is in this for the long run, seeing that the was majority of their profits and brand awareness will come from the PlayStation ecosystem. MS has far more flexibility to experiment, and even restart from scratch if they must, while Nintendo might actually make a decent profit from far fewer users.
Only time will tell which approach will be better.
