I think the convergence of gaming hardware is inevitable. Xbox will be at a huge disadvantage in terms of net graphical performance because of resource overhead imposed by the shittiness (which seems to be growing due to the issues you mentioned) of Windows. But it won't matter since it's not clear graphics matter anymore. They can just pump up the frame-gen some more, too.
The one dream I have is that Windows will eventually collapse because of the AI bullshit: we'll come to a point where no human at MS knows how windows works anymore--where no one can even begin to untangle the spaghetti. Then they should just throw it all out--start with a clean(-ish) slate--and make Windows a Linux wrapper, with some kind of emulation or virtualization layer for running legacy Windows apps. My dream is that the collapse of Windows forces MS to be more responsible about development going forward, and finally bring some consumer polish to desktop Linux.
Nintendo? iono.
