TBH i think knowing that all 3 next gen consoles will be out within the next 12 months and therfore the artificially slowed down PC evolution will finally stop and start to evolve again (because gaming PCs will finally have competition) alot of people stopped buying PCs.
I mean every person I talk to about PC upgrading or buying Laptops etc is waiting 1 year. We all have enough of this slowdown. And 2 year old CPUs are more expensive now thatn 2 years ago (Intel Core i5 models for example) Or the CPUs that are supposed to replace those are 2% faster and cost the same as the old models 2 years ago.
Hell I mean I have a 2011 Laptop that was 370€ that can play Battlefield 3 with like 26 FPS on medium to high settings. I cant imagine what a 500€ Laptop could do. Why would anyone buy newer PCs/ Laptops? If even 2008 PCs can play Borderlands 2 in FULLHD with like 40-50 FPS? And people buying office PCs never had a big reason to upgrade. So if gamers have no reason especially companies have no reason to upgrade.
And buying a 1000 dollar PC for Crysis 3 to run with 30 FPS isnt worth it.
