I wonder if Nintendo will also eventually see the light. It will take a failed product launch and poor sales of games after that to force their hand.
The Wii U was kinda that. It only sold/shipped 13.5 million units. Consequently (and relatively), not many games were sold.
Nintendo doesn’t want to publish to PC because it doesn’t ship consoles. They are the only company of the big three that makes a profit on the consoles themselves. The rest sells them at a loss and tries to make up for it with software and subscription services.
Yes, but the switch was a huge success. So their hand wasn’t forced. If they see falling revenue from both consoles and games their hand will be forced is my point. You don’t profit off machines youre not selling so it is not currently their plan.
What I meant to say is, even if their product fails, their hand won’t be forced in the way you’d like. What happened was the Switch, instead of PC ports.
