Likely people upgrading in the wake of PS4 and Xbone raising the standard.


And as more games start jump up to that new baseline it will drive even more adoption over the next couple years. Currently there are only a handfull of games that have next gen specs out right now, and most of them aren't really big sellers on PC. Battlefeild 4, ARMA 3 and Watch Dogs are the big ones so far, you may argue Metro: Last Light and Crysis 3 and a couple others but they weren't huge sellers. There really haven't been many real hardware pushers yet, most of the cross gen games scale down quite well. Over the next couple years you have games like Star Citizen, The Witcher 3, GTA V, Star Wars Battlefront, Rainbow Six: Seige, The Devision, Left 4 Dead 3 on Source 2 (there have been enough leaks), a next gen Bethesda game etc. Which will all drive a lot of PC hardware.

I never said otherwise. Though since the big money on AAA comes from consoles, I reckon high end PC gaming will still be a small slice of the gaming market.
