So I game mostly on Xbox but also on PC and having my games that were previously exclusive to xbox also available on PC is a great benefit to me (though the games I like to play on PC are different for instance: age of empires, tropico, the sims, football manager, commandos and other games, while on xbox I play fifa, nba and other gamepass games and games that have a playerbase on console) but what I've heard people say is that previous console exclusives being available on PC hurts console sales, I believe that would be the case for PC gamers who would never buy a console outside of exclusives, but not for console gamers, I've also heard people say that they like the feeling exclusive games bring to them (that they're being catered to in a way that is only shared by those who play on that platform and they like that feeling of exclusivity) and there are also those who say that exclusives push a single platform to its limits (though I believe this has changed recently but even then, PC would always best the best a console can do), now the benefits far outweighs the negatives in my mind since now all your exclusive games are playable on two platforms, you get more out of a single purchase.
I believe MS were the first to do this for a number of reasons, weak xbox one sales (not just hardware, exclusive games too), they have a history with PC that sony and nintendo don't have and also sony and nintendo being japanese companies have more of a japanese look on the video game market (obviously), that all being said I do believe a Sony and Nintendo PC store in the future is inevitable (streaming too for sony, not sure how nintendo would handle streaming though), where they sell their games on their store on PC, the question in this case would obviously be whether or not their stores would be tied in a way where you get the game on both platforms with a single purchase.
Now this question is less for PC gamers, since I imagine the answer would be yes for all of them, since they don't care about consoles anyways, this would also be a boost to sony and nintendo as they would get sales they wouldn't get otherwise from PC gamers (people who no matter how good your game is, would never buy your console, since they like PC benefits way too much).
