The console buying audience and the PC audience are at this point fundamentally separate, I think. “Just build a PC if you want to play MS first party” is not useful advice to someone that’s a traditional console experience, of which there are still tens of millions. And I think more importantly, the performance per dollar gap between a series X and a gaming PC is outlandish right now, and might not ever get better. Legitimately, the PC parts market might be permanently broken.
I could easily see it being 2024 and the Series X is still vastly outpacing an equivalently spec’d PC in performance per dollar. That, plus a pro refresh, plus aggressive series S price cuts, I think will move a lot of consoles for Microsoft. I think we could actually see a renaissance in the western console market if the PC market remains this bad
