If I'm not counting GeForce Ti 4400 back in 2002, I was ATI/AMD for the most part - until I had it enough with their drivers and went with nVidia with GTX 10 series and kept with them. But yeah, if I was upgrading now, I would be looking at AMD quite favorably again.

Your opinion is seems to be quite common there days. It's part of the reason 9070XT and even 9070 pricing is so high. The consumer wants the AMD card and not the Nvidia one. By all accounts, AMD has shipped more cards than Nvidia yet the high demand for AMD is causing their prices to remain high while the depressed Nvidia demand is causing their prices to fall closer to or in some cases below MSRP.  The 5070, 5060Ti, and 5060 (thus far) doesn't seem to be moving that many units. Make no mistake, Datacenter and AI are the focus of Nvidia and AMD but as of right now, AMD seems to care more about the gaming market. I think that has alot to do with their success in the console business. 

Not to disagree with you, but AMD's success in the console business has more to do with

1) Being the only company that could provide both the CPU and GPU (Intel/IBM could do CPU but not GPU and Nvidia could provide GPU but not CPU), And when APUs came and gave them the option to have both on the same silicon, it only made the deal even better

2) Being easy to work with because they didn't act like d*cks (there's a reason neither MSoft after the first Xbox nor Sony after the PS3 wanted to work with Nvidia again)

3) They needed the money from consoles to keep the company afload, which was good both both sides
