Both AMD and Nvidia are gonna release new GPUs before the new consoles come out. And in Nvidia's case their new generation will put their last generation and the consoles to shame. Just a year later consoles will be your regular midrange again.

The only scientific fact I see here is that consoles won't have much of an effect on PC gaming, as usual. Even if some of the games come out with slightly elevated requirements that will not be true for the vast majority of PC games.

Of course they will. On pc there's always new and better hardware around the corner. Like I said, the only difference this time is that the consoles won't have hardware that's completely outdated as soon as they come out. At least not if you would consider a RTX2080 dated by the end of this year. Enthusiast will be able to pick up a RTX3070/3080 and I'm sure all next gen games will run in native 4k on them, assuming developers are aiming for 1440p on ps5/SeriesX.

It will be interesting to see what the "main stream" RTX3060 will cost and how it'll stack up against these next gen consoles and the RTX2080, though. I mean a GTX1080 maybe a bit old but it still outperforms a RTX2060 in most games. 

I'm not sold yet that the consoles will actually reach the performance of a 2080. If the rumors of the new Nvidia gen are true a 3060 might actually come pretty close to the consoles.
