This is a good list! What I would cautiously add (as I haven't fully thought this through) is that at least at first glance the Switch 2 seems to be disrupting Sony's and Microsoft's business.
If you look at it from a conventional angle, the Switch 2 is still lacking in areas like graphics power and is not considered to be a "hardcore" console. However, mobile chip technology has made huge jumps over the past decade, to the point where many people have to look twice to see a difference between a Switch 2 game and a PS5 game and most games can run adequately on Switch 2.
At this point, Sony and Microsoft can only move upmarket to keep their margins - which Sony did, with the extremely expensive PS5 Pro. Microsoft on the other hand saw the writing on the wall and basically went third party. And Sony will have to do the same thing if they want to stay in the very echelon of the upmarket with the PS6, as that console will have to be very expensive for people to see a difference compared to PS5 and software will be even more expensive to develop in the future than it already is.
