It's a repeat of what happened in the late 90s. First they start putting their games on PC, then they start publishing them to other consoles. I fully expect PlayStation to go fully third party in a few years. PS6 might unironically be the last one.

I've seen people claiming that PlayStation and Xbox putting their games all over the place is a good thing, but history tells me that it means those platforms are both on their deathbeds. I genuinely believe that in the relatively near future the gaming landscape will just be PC, Nintendo, and various PC handhelds, with Nintendo as the last company that makes both hardware and software (But I expect Xbox and PlayStation to license out their name for other products like what Xbox is already doing, even before the Ally. And even Sega has done this).

Exclusives define brand identity and push hardware sales. The death of exclusives, while being convenient for anyone who doesn't want to buy multiple platforms (including myself, these days I just have PC and Nintendo), is bad. And it's going to create stagnation due to lack of competition.

This is bad for gamers.
