    that was largerly due to the fact that consoles were getting more expensive and that it was getting to the point you could build a computer, that would look better than console, for the same or cheaper than console.

    but the whole AI bullshit kinda blew that ship out of the water… so Consoles may start gaining ground again as the affordable gaming option (compared to paying a console price for ram, a console price for storage, and 2 console prices for a GPU)

      Console makers have to pay more for those parts too. Next gen is going to shock people I think.

        yeah, but they still get the advantage of bulk buying and economies of scale.

        While we don’t. So their costs don’t increase nearly as much as ours do.
