Oh I know that there are a lot of people that don’t want to get started on having to deal with picking parts, let alone putting them together themselves.
But a lot of stores also started selling pre-built gaming PCs recently, at least where I live. So it’s become significantly easier to obtain a gaming PC these days.
Other than that I feel Xbox hasn’t had as many exclusives as PlayStation lately (if we’re not counting PC ports). So then a decision between either console seems like quite an easy one for many.
i already felt like Microsoft was doing little to make their consoles an interesting option (if you didn’t have a PC already), and most of their exclusives became cross platform.
I think their next console will basically just either be a streaming device or just a fancy gaming PC with Windows.
I picked up all exclusives, before they went cross platform anyway. For me it was worth the buy.
I don’t think we’ll see a PS6 anytime soon though. Visual progress is probably gonna stall a bit now, best they can do is aim for solid 4K 120FPS, which would require better hardware. But I don’t think that’ll happen anytime soon.
Other than VR there haven’t really been big developments in gaming for a long time. And most of the player base ain’t ready for stuff higher than 4K. So I think it’ll flatten out for a little longer.
