Remember, Sony and Nintendo  dont have PC platform OS like Apple or Microsoft. They depend on consoles or handled (Nintendo). That's why their lock in to their ecosystem. If you think Sony and Nintendo is bullshit by looking into their exclusives then why don't you use smartphones as an example where some Apple app only available on iOS. 

It's about platform or ecosystem, Microsoft will win if Sony put their games on PC but not with Sony. Their revenue will be much bigger on their own platform/Service (PSPlus/Now/PS consoles). 

Remember Sony and Nintendo could easy build their own Store on PC where they wouldnt be giving MS a cut of anything. Thats whats great about an Open platform like the PC.

I doubt PC gamers would be receptive to yet another digital-PC store.

We already have GOG, Origin, uDontPlay, Steam, Battle.net, Epic Store, Windows Store, Bethesda Store, Gamers Gate, Green Man Gaming, Direct 2 Drive and whatever else I have forgotten.

Plus it takes time to make a store *good* Steam has been at it for years... And considering the fact that Nintendo already struggles trying to build an online eco-system as it is for the hot-selling Switch, do they really have the time and resources to start focusing on PC?

They would probably be better off partnering up with Epic or Valve rather than trying to reinvent the wheel again.
