I agree that saying “Microsoft did it already” is a silly response to something that is just a positive to gaming. But your example of Nintendo doesn’t really mean anything when Nintendo didn’t put a lot of effort in supporting disabled people the last generations.

Because it's not an example of Nintendo being good, it's an example of why this reductive argument is meaningless.
