It's similar to how Toys R' Us arranged with Amazon to do their online business. And by the time Toys R' Us" realized this was unsustainable, it was too late for them to build up their own online business, and they were kind of fucked.
I think Nintendo ultimately needs its own streaming/download service. I think the strength of their first party software lineup actually gives them a potentially huge advantage in that area. It would be better for them to build their own rather than letting Gamepass grow too large for them to ever compete. |
They already have it. It's called Nintendo Switch Online and has apps for each specific console of the past. It's download-only though, but then again, who needs inferior streaming.

I honestly have a hard time determining if this is supposed to be serious or not, but obviously Nintendo Online is not the same type of offering as Gamepass. Might be a foundation to build upon, but right now it's a tough sell even at 20 per year.
