Honestly I think they have a point. A lot of gamers who live for specs (myself included) have started scratching that itch with a PC instead of a console. I have a switch almost exclusively for the first party titles and for its versatility. Any graphics intensive games I play are going on the PC. I actually bought a series X right in the heart of the COVID restrictions, and it almost never gets used.

Same here, it's part of the reason why I've never bothered to own a Sony or Microsoft console. Their first party titles are not radically different to anything I could play on my PC, and often I can actually play them on my PC with significantly better visuals/performance/input. Meanwhile, Nintendo is still puting out first party titles that are quite unique to their systems. It's actually so good that they've become a portable-focused company now because their systems and games have become the perfect accompaniments for PC gamers.
