You cant pirate games or mod. If you pick Sony, you can only play games with official releases on Sony consoles. And so on.

Steam releases can be played on a deck or a gaming pc/laptop even though its not a Steam device.

Which would you choose? Im thinking the one called Steam wins.

I've always been largely Nintendo & PC my whole life but truthfully that's like 90% Nintendos with my Steam library being largely ignored

sucks to lose mmos tho

Assuming every system going forward gets the same level of support it has now

Nintendo. The first party support settles it, and I would be willing to compromise on Switch-quality ports of third party games. Losing Rockstar is unfortunate but most of the rest of the console multiplatform lineup gets to Nintendo eventually.

If you couldn't care less about Nintendo you'd be stupid not to pick PC.

Even Rockstar is slowly but surely bringing their library over. GTA3/VC/SA are already on Switch and RDR is on its way.

Sony. Nintendo has amazing first party games, but I can't remember the last 3rd party title i bought for Switch. I'd probably miss Pokemon the most tbh.

This is tricky retroactively but I think PC or even just Steam wins it.

Feels like a no-brainer to pick Nintendo if you care about their exclusives at all.

Steam/PC easily second choice and after that I'm inclined to go with Sony for 3rd but it's much closer.

Steam, fairly easily.

Yes, you lose out on 1st party Nintendo but aside from that everything comes to Steam, including lots of smaller indie games.

You can like Nintendo exclusives and recognize that PC has way, way more exclusives that are just as good

It feels to me like everything has console ports these days, often even to Switch. Not saying you're wrong though. These are either in genres I don't play or I'm just missing them (or they're ancient and don't have modern console ports).

If all mods, including cosmetic ones and minor QOL improvements, are suddenly off the table, there goes a good chunk of my PC enjoyment.

Nintendo it is then.

I probably would have if PC wasn't included. PC with the best hardware, largest gaming library, and the most control options makes it a no-brainer.

PC vs. Nintendo is tough. Both have lots of great games that aren't on the other. Plus they run better on PC, of course.

As a PS5 owner, PS is a bad choice imo.

Probably Sony. PC is the smartest choice but I guess I just use my PlayStation instead and dont care to change. Id miss Zelda and Xenoblade though.

steam-only pc gaming would be too awkward for me to stick to considering i have as many games from itch, and also gog/booth/dlsite/melonbooksdl/vn stores/etc, plus physical releases, and in general vehemently prefer to support drm free releases when possible

i guess my answer is... maybe sony?
