@SakuraHaruka You don't seem to have understood me, or you really think I'm from the future. Nintendo's current online service is clearly worse than both Xbox Live and PS Plus, not just now, but even back when PS Plus launched. Nintendo's track record with online gaming has been extremely poor and slow developing. It would be surprising if the launch of NSO resulted in Nintendo's online service drastically improving.
It doesn't really make sense to compare Switch Online to the launch state of Xbox Live and Playstation Plus. Xbox Live pioneered this type of service and launched 15 years ago. Playstation Plus launched 8 years ago and raised the bar by offering free (and recent) games.
NSO should at least be comparable to current state of these services. Instead, it's basically a cheaper version of launch PS Plus, except with a worse online experience, an abysmal app, and free games from 30+ years ago rather than 24 months ago.
