Console gamers are not interested in PC gaming for several reasons. For starters, the cost of a PC that matches this rumored spec leak for Xbox Series X is well over $600, a 12 tflop RDNA AMD GPU on PC hasn't even released yet, the highest you can get on RDNA is 10 tflop with the RX 5700 XT currently, and it costs about $390 at the cheapest right now, which means that when the Navi 2 cards release in 2020, you're probably going to be paying at least $400 for a Navi 2 card with 12 tflops, and that is just 1 component of the PC. An 8 core Zen 2 CPU like the Ryzen 7 3700x currently costs about $320. A good motherboard costs about $100. 16 GB of DDR4 will run you about $60. A 1 TB NVMe SSD runs you about $110 currently. All in all you're looking at probably at least $900 to build a PC that matches these leaked Series X specs, likely over $1000 to buy it from a company who builds it for you (most console gamers are too intimidated to build a PC themselves). But there are other factors besides price that turn console gamers off from PC gaming. Most PC's aren't living room friendly unless you specifically do a mini-ITX build, which costs extra due to the extra cooling you have to pay for to get a quiet, living room friendly build. PC lacks physical purchase options these days. You can't play multiplayer games with a controller on PC or else you will get absolutely wrecked by the mouse and keyboard folks. |
Sorry, did you just throw in a Desktop CPU compared to the consoles mobile variants? You are just bad at selecting parts.
