I agree, i think Nintendo will remain the last bastion of the traditional console model the coming years, and they will follow that model as long as it makes financial sense to do so, the only way they will ever go with PC releases like PS and Xbox will do is if the traditional console model is no longer viable in any form in the future.I mean for games that are only on XBox console and not on the PC side ... I think the issue is simply going to be this simple ... tough shit unfortunately.
Those games won't work on the XBox portable (or maybe they can come up with some kind of emulation layer idea, but I doubt they will even bother with that).
XBox Series S/X in a lot of ways are the end of XBox hardware I think.
The next 3-5 years is mostly going to be a coronation party for the PC platform, bespoke XBox consoles will go away entirely and basically be absorbed into the PC world, Playstation 1st party games will all be coming to PC with some being day and date and others being maybe 6-12 month exclusives.
3rd parties that for whatever weird reason still aren't making PC versions of certain games, like no Madden NFL and NHL for PC from EA are going to just cave and make PC versions.
Who knows, if Nintendo continues with physical media they could also be the last bastion for every gamer who cares about physical media, when PC, PS and Xbox will all have abandoned physical media by that point.
