Why console crossplay will mean nothing in the long run

The problem with that logic is that both Sony and MS support cross play with phone and PC already.  Next gen, Nintendo will not be a factor for cross play so if Sony says no...

 

PS5+PC+Mobile

 

Vs

 

X(2)+PC+Mobile

 

Without a 3rd big player, MS would have no advantage over Sony and therefore, regardless of who is holding it back, console crossplay becomes irrelevant from a business standpoint.

If mobile remains to be a player, Nintendo will remain to be a player as well, for sure. You can't include mobile but then exclude Nintendo. Makes no sense.

Mobile is not a player when it comes to AAA titles.  Lower teir indies or minecraft sure, but not every indie game is going to blow up like Fortnite did.
