       | catalog) but long term, it'll bring down your revenue because
       | gamers will spend less (buying more xbox games and streaming
       | them) and publishers will not port to Nintendo; they'll just
       | publish on Xbox/Windows instead of porting.

         | they won't change the status quo for 10 years. It's not
         | something like bringing the Xbox streaming/game pass to
         | Nintendo Switch.
