    You mention the hardware is locked down and makes it easier for game dev, but that’s only true for exclusives. Dev companies hate that they have to do PlayStation, then Nintendo, then Xbox. hardware variations introduce a small percentage to cost, but going on a new platform is way higher.

    Also the cost is offset with ridiculous subscriptions that make it more expensive for the end user overall.
