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.

Yah prices haven’t changed, sure bud. Graphic cards have gotten insanely expensive and now RAM and storage is going up to. What a bunch of BS that the prices haven’t changed in 15 years.

I mean, excluding temporary price jumps that affect the entire industry like the current RAM and storage shortage… I assumed that was obviously implied.

Here’s the thing: you don’t need the newest, greatest graphics card. I’ve managed just fine for my entire life by never spending more than $800 or so on new PCs. (When I upgrade, I typically just replace everything and have a second PC, rather than replacing half of it and having spare parts). Do I have the best and latest? No, absolutely not, but I also said a “decent” gaming PC, not “the best PC money can buy”. Certainly comparable to - or better than - current gen consoles.
