I believe it is the kind of blow that will be felt not now, but in a decade.
I obviously can't predict the future, but I believe Microsoft is in a position where their consoles can become the "default" gaming platform simply because everything will be there, sometimes with a little perk, and financially more accessible.
(People who keep preaching about how Game Pass will eventually fail really needs to get out of whatever they are smoking. Haven't they seen how profitable subscriptions are?)
In a scenario like this, Sony could probably go the Nintendo route, but it is also possible that they are pushed out of the market because, unlike Nintendo, their games are way too expensive to be made.
In that sense, GaaS really is one of the few possibilities of secure revenue for their future.
