Nintendo's success with the Switch both a blessing and a curse?

Makes sense. I think the PS5 will be a force to be reckoned with though. The PlayStation brand is still the biggest one in the industry and Sony are great (and one of the very few) at making AAA games without having the 60$ be the starting point and not the final price. MS will still be chasing Gamepass and microtransactions together with their bff EA.

The PS5's fortunes are going to see a serious damper if Microsoft is competent enough to not serve the PS5 the title of "multiplat console of choice" on a silver platter like they did for the PS4 with the XB1. Game Pass can be a significant factor in the equation because it means more games for less money; Game Pass is certainly not in the same category as microtransactions or other anti-consumer practices.

True, but Game Pass is not very good for anyone in the industry except for MS and publishers of failed games that MS might give a very small share of their profit. Its great for gamers at the moment, but look at how much better games sell on the PS4. Even with the install bases considered, its still insane.
