What you mean nah a 1000 dollar console is still cheaper than a top tier gaming pc. A lot of nikkaz paid 1000 dollars for a ps5 when they couldn’t find it on the shelf so let’s not act like it’s not far fetched.
a 1000 console 'still being cheaper than a top tier gaming pc' doesn't matter. A top tier gaming pc is... ya know. A computer. That does stuff other than play games. A machine like that is usable for other things and provides a more clear lane into streaming content. That's the parlay now - people understanding that getting a machine + capture card to stream their games on twitch/youtube/kick is about as expensive as that PC.
But... that also blows up the concept of the console market. You make a system a band and the folk that only play COD/Madden/2K/<insertBatleRoyale> are going to either reconsider their hobbies or worse: start demanding equivalent quality for the money.
PC gaming has a bunch of marketplaces to obtain games, with a whole piracy black market and resellers all over the place. You get a PC you can
find what you are looking for, if you look enough. Consoles, you're locked on one marketplace.
They ain't doin consoles that expensive without making them modular for ease of upgrade. That, or once they hit the visual deadpoint where the human eye stops being able to perceive the variations. We're close. But once we get there... all that's left
is PC
