In the mainstream segment, sure. But here? I don’t know I see nothing of that going by talk. (maybe I have too many on ignore, sorry)
Most people here who are interested in consoles, already have PS5 - we're not behind the "main stream" - ahead of it. There's not an exodus of xbox players to PS5 on Gaf, because they already had PS5s, and probably no xbox to migrate from.
Meanwhile PC is growing, rapidly, and Xbox to PC is such a smooth transition, besides cost. Any enthusiast gamer must’ve thought about it. Baldur’s Gate 3 delayed on Xbox, first on PC. GAF’s favorite Starfield 30fps on Xbox, 100+ fps on PC plus mods. Playstation games on Xbox lol nah, on PC delayed 1-2 years. Higher cost but so worth it imo. Admittedly I’m highly biased though, making a full PC transition in the living room this year, only keeping the Switch.
PC gaming as whole is growing because indies have made potato PCs viable for those games. Is hearts still the most played game on PC? For many years it was.
AAA gaming is a distant concept to the majority of PC owners who just dabble in low performance games.
One look at steam surveys shows - people with PC capable of running PS5 games at PS5 quality are a small minority of people who use Steam.
