I suppose that it does create an opportunity for a new company to create similar titles for the PlayStation without competition.

I've been pretty much ignoring what's been happening in console-land, but it looks like Nintendo's current offering has much-more-limited hardware -- portable and about a generation back, with maybe a quarter the memory. Games in the genre are kind of RAM-hungry, so I don't know if that's a realistic target for anything that intends to remain vaguely feature-competitive.

I assume that MacOS users also won't be targeted.

CD Projekt Red has targeted the PS5 and Switch but not MacOS users with The Witcher 3. Cyberpunk 2077 targeted the PS5 but not the Switch or MacOS. I don't know what their upcoming game, codenamed Project Orion, will target.

Red Dead Redemption 2 targeted the PS4 but not the Switch or MacOS. I don't know if there are new games planned in the series.

Grand Theft Auto VI will apparently target the PS5 but not Switch or MacOS.
