Nintendo as the only console and king of gaming... Damn, that would be the worst timeline for sure...

Hmm that’s a weird way of spelling “best”…?

Edit: Though to follow up this comment with some extra thoughts, I think you make a good case as to why the existence of Nintendo, Sony, and PC hardware are all essential to gaming, that they each offer different ways to play video games. For the casual consumer hesitant to pour a lot of money into a PS5 or PC, Nintendo is always going to be a solid entry point. For the consumer who is looking for a little more of a “premium” experience (specifically when it comes to 3rd party titles) but is wary on investing in a PC, then PS5 is a solid option. For those who are fully invested into gaming (and will be unbothered by a hefty price tag or convoluted hardware setup) and don’t care about physical ownership, then PC is a great option.

I wouldn’t ever want all of gaming to be confined to a single device, as (i) you’d be losing that technical “Wow!” factor on Nintendo hardware, (ii) you’d be losing portability and hardware innovation on Sony hardware, (iii) you’d lose physical ownership and suffer an out-priced market of casual consumers on PC.
