Personally, the more and more I see of next generation gaming from the rest of the industry the less and less impressed I become.

Sony/Microsoft/AAA publishers seem to be mostly focused on games as a service/teraflops/etc.

I'm thinking I will be passing on being an early adopter of the 2 other major consoles for now.

Just going to focus on the Switch and catch up on my backlog of games as their next gen focus is more appealing.

I don't really understand what you're trying to say.

What are the different approaches?

GaaS/ teraflops and what? Compared to not those things?

As in Microsoft seems to be focusing more on Game Pass/xCloud type capabilities.

Sony seems to be focused on horsepower and their new controller.

Nintendo seems to be focused on "fun" and not sure what else, lol.

AAA studios will be influenced by each of the major consoles to make different games.

The three consoles all seem to be moving in different directions, which is a good thing for consumers overall.

I'm just not a fan of a focus on graphics, game streaming, etc so to this point overall I'm not excited by "next gen".
