Now sure you can say the high-end gpu of today is the low end gpu of tomorrow. But the truth is that we have no idea when Series X like specs will be main stream on pc. Maybe there will be a $200 RTX3050 and NVME SSD's will be dirt cheap next year. But it can also take years. Hell, the GTX1080 is over 4 years old and it's still selling for around $600. This console generation could literally be half way over before we'll see games on GP that truly require Series X like specs on the pc side. 

Talking shit about PC hardware prices again?

You can buy a RTX 2060 for $300 - $350, which is faster than a GTX 1080 in most newer games:

You can also buy a RX 5700 for $300 - $350, which is faster than a GTX 1080 in most newer games:

And at the end of the year (when the new consoles launch and Ampère graphic cards launch and RDNA2 graphic cards launch) these prices will probably be a lot lower.

Maybe, maybe not. We'll just have to wait till Nvidia and AMD release the prices of their new GPU's. But like I've been saying for months now, ps5 will be showing them games that take advantage of that kind of hardware from day one. Meanwhile MS is too busy making sure anyone with a pc and Xone can play their games on GP too. That's why Sony's event got everybody excited about next gen, while Series X's first look did pretty much the opposite.
