GTAV should have grown console adoption during its 12 year reign, it did not. The PS2 + XBox sold better combined than the following two generations that did have GTAV. I even took out the GameCube. 

Them's the facts. That section of the market is not growing, hasn't been for decades. 

Except the PC market is growing Iike crazy.  In 2023 Steam added 23,000,000 new users.

Steam+xbox+ps4 = biggest market this section has seen yet.  

Them's the facts.  

Doesn't matter to Nintendo, matters more to Sony and MS, MS who has destroyed their XBox division effectively, Sony who is now in an conundrum of damaging the Playstation brand and sales the more they move towards PC. 

All of that, if you're Nintendo you're just sitting back and watching having a laugh. PC gaming market has existed alongside Nintendo platforms well before Sony and MS even cut their diapers in this business, Nintendo doesn't have a problem with PC, it's just not a party they're going to join. 

PC as a gaming entity has never really done anything antagonistic towards Nintendo like steal Final Fantasy or money hat third parties or try to bait Nintendo into selling hardware for $100+ losses. That's always been Sony/MS, so if they're being swallowed up by PC, that's more of a "good riddance" feeling at Nintendo I would imagine.
