Lower-mid tier PC's are nowhere near the rumored PS6 specs. And PC prices are increasing a lot more than consoles' because they require a large amount of DDR RAM, a component that doesn't exist in consoles.

And while Switch 2 isn't quite as "indirect" a competitor as some of its predecessors, it still won't be a direct competitor to Playstation anytime soon. People will still buy it primarily for Nintendo games, and Playstation will dominate console 3rd party sales as usual.

Switch 2 faces a greater medium term challenge than Playstation. PC will be fine, because it doesn't need to sell a ton of new hardware to remain dominant. Most PC gamers still play on weaker PC's than a base PS5.

Yeah I don't think it'll be til Switch 3 where Nintendo will truly be considered an easy alternative to playstation to the average gamer.
