I'm probably months late on posting this thread but the idea of "Console Wars" which is a flawed concept to begin with, is over.
Xbox is going for a multiplatform strategy for many of its titles, and Phil Spencer said in 2024 that there is no red line for Microsoft titles on other platforms. The Gears remaster was day and date with PlayStation, and so is the upcoming Halo Remake.
PlayStation is embracing PC more and more but has not committed today and date yet for a lot of its titles like Xbox did a long time ago. And yes, PlayStation is even dipping their toes into multiplatform.
Nintendo went for the Blue Ocean strategy with their home consoles in particular way back in 2006 with Wii. And while it's not remotely the same as PC releases and such like others have done, Nintendo has embraced mobile gaming for small titles. You almost never saw Nintendo properties on anything other than Nintendo platforms or an arcade machine prior to mobile. But times are changing. While the odds of Nintendo putting their titles on PlayStation or Xbox one day are probably less than 1%, I think it's inevitable that Nintendo will put some games on PC eventually. Even if it's not until 2035 or later.
So, to sum up.
Xbox: "This Is An Xbox", Multiplats
PlayStation: Embracing PC after initial launches of games and some multiplats.
Nintendo: Blue Ocean, Mobile
