My hope is that these game "platform wars" will produce some set of standard APIs - if for no other reason then to make it easy to "steal" games from one platform and make it exclusive to another one (I believe this is exactly what happened with a recent Steam game which is now on the Epic platform). If it is easy to make a game work on a new platform, multiple plaftorms are great. If not, then they're fragmenting the gaming landscape but do not necessarily increase competition.
