Bad News for Sony, Microsoft & Nintendo: PC Gaming Revenue Is Expected to Surpass Consoles by 2028 - No Last Name Needed

Consoles honestly don’t even feel necessary at all anymore. It used to be that you got better performance compared to a similarly priced PC, but that’s not really the case anymore; console prices just keep going up, and the price of a decent gaming PC hasn’t really changed much in the last 15 years. Even things like the Switch are largely invalidated by hand-held PC gaming solutions. Maybe it’s just time the consoles die off.

Consoles bring convenience for gamers that don’t care to know much about tech. Not something of much value to me and you I bet but it’s still a surprisingly strong argument. Think of how many users refuse to try Linux no matter how much they hate Windows.

Anyways next time you build a decent mid-range gaming PC you’re in for a reality check regarding prices imho. I’ve built one last month and yikes! I had to chill on my RAM target let me tell you. Storage stung way more than it used to as well. And I ended up taking ye olde GPU for one more spin.
