I've said before as well that we're going to get to a point soon where consoles price advantage over PC becomes no longer an advantage and it is a pretty big advantage to have, like at a certain point, consoles will be so pricey that they'll be only available to the biggest enthusiasts and those tend to be people with more money, and they'll be a certain tipping point where even if PCs still cost a decent bit more than consoles, the console price will be so high that people will see it as a bit like "Well, I might as well get a PC if I'm going to be spending this much"

Of course there's still other factors that push people more to console than PC but the price is a significant one.

For me the price was never the issue it was the issues in general I had with PC gaming. Discord not recognizing mic randomly, controller disconnecting from PC, static/voice breaking on mic when I'm not even that far from my PC, games not working for random reasons. I hate the way every other game has like a three step process for exiting the game. No easy way to use the controller to control the whole system. If my friends get online I have to use a mouse and keyboard to get into their discord and it's not easy to do when I'm in a game. It's just not a very friendly user experience. I would pay more for a console than a PC just for the friendly user experience and no issues. These are all things I had to deal with and I've been in work in IT desktopserver support for like 15 years now. I can't even imagine how crazy this stuff would make the average consumer.

Yeah, I agree with all of this, "ease of access/use" is the other significant factor as to why people go with consoles over PC, I was just noting that price is also another significant factor or rather, it used to be, at some point it won't be anymore and I wonder how that will help PC with the more enthusiast console audience. For me personally, I would have said price and everything you said were two factors as to why I opted for consoles instead of PC amongst other reasons but price, again for me personally, is quickly not becoming a factor, Lol.
