I don't know that Rare was a "loss" for the industry. If we were still stuck on platformers and the FPS genre was still terrible then, sure, but did they ever prove that they could make top level games in the modern era? Not everything transitions well and you can't expect that it will.

Neither are really loses to the gaming industry, but rather to Sony or Nintendo specifically

Nintendo dodged a bullet "losing" Rare, they weren't the same company they were during the SNES/64 days.

Rare although I question myself how important Rare could have been for Nintendo going on, their latest games. for Nintendo didn't sell that much and their software output was slowing down due to the technological leap, so I wonder if Nintendo would have given them the resources needed to grow steadily and remain as relevant to the industry as they were
