You're not wrong but is that not the entire console business in a nutshell? Getting a console is essentially signing up for a closed platform

    I think the difference is, Sony and Nintendo build their exclusives through close support, while Microsoft and Epic have just tried buying them in.

    Amazon and Google have essentially tried the same thing, and gave up because pouring money in isn’t a full business plan.

    Nintendo has a very reliable and steady amount of high quality AAA and AA games that they make for their console.

    Sony used to have a very reliable quality AAA and indie games on their console.

    Microsoft had Halo and Forza.
