I think at the moment it's pretty much agreed upon that the best games that are coming out right now are coming from First Party Studios, Sans Microsoft who's having their own fumbling right now.
They are outputting the best games and traditionally always have because there is more at stake in getting those games made. Without quality games being required to sell a piece of hardware, I don't think first-party games would be nearly as good as they are.
The switch has like two really good exclusives, and the rest are meh. Ps5 has a few good exclusives, but even Sony has started to realize that it's more profitable to release their games on PC as well. Meanwhile PC/cross-platform games have a ridiculous amount of amazing competing titles. For every exclusive that I wished I had a console to play, there's ten or twenty other games that I'd rather play on PC instead. Console exclusives should and likely will die fairly soon, especially now that consoles are basically just PCs, and with handheld like the steam deck making switch irrelevant.
