You don't need to build one yourself, there are plenty of prebuilt ones available. It's still not as easy as getting a console, but you absolutely don't need to build a PC yourself. PC is not the only alternative either - I'm sure the big three are also worried about mobile, and every powerful piece of consumer technology is probably something to look out for as far as the big three are concerned. There is certainly some pressure to keep things competitive. Obviously even more would be better, but it's not a terrible situation. |
Most teens and kids indeed start gaming at mobile nowadays. But I don't think dedicated gamers can truly look to mobile as a viable option. Most smartphone games are developed thinking on monetization practices, it's a different subset of bussines that don't target the same audience who buys consoles or build PCs
The pre built PCs, mostly laptops, are much more expensive than console and with worse performance. Well at least where I live. A basic gaming laptop with inferior setup to a PS5 is above 5500 BRL range. PS5 is 4500 range. Series X is also 4500 range. I think PC gaming still fairly good option in Brazil though, thanks to software prices on Steam being way cheaper than on Sony store (don't know about MS store) and also free online, so the higher entry price can pay itself in long run at least (and your collections never really dissappear, you can buy another PC and keep all your games). One of the reasons why I feel PC gaming is more popular than consoles here.
