$700, and the side by sides look barely different, from my perspective. The chat seemed to have the same opinion.

I mean, console sales decreased in the 80s and never went back up, right?

The reality is that a lot of people haven't migrated from the previous gen. Partially because of supply chain issues from COVID. Partially because of economic uncertainty.

Stuff goes in waves. Time will tell. But in terms of "core" gaming, consoles still continue to dominate the "casual" market. And I suspect we are more likely to see "core" gaming going away in favor of mobile than for PC to suddenly dominate at the AA/AAA level.

the problem is the covid supply chain ended a while ago and console sales havent drastically picked up since then. the PS5 has been orderable direct from sony for quite a long while now, and shortly after in stores. physical game sales (something console users champion, has gone way down (according to sony, only 30% of the sales are physical now)
