As the article says, "Nintendo moved on, Xbox gave up, and Sony is left fighting nobody." What's funny is that Sony is still fighting as though there's a console war on, "holding on to exclusive games tightly and trying to win people over with bigger, more expensive consoles." Meanwhile, Xbox became a third-party game publisher and Nintendo has been outselling everyone by not engaging in the war. Me, I think the deciding factor was game streaming services, like Steam, which made consoles, to a large degree, moot.
