This comment doest make sense because it's filled with too many contradiction.   You are saying that most people wont pay $800 to buy a PS5 too play GTA 6 in this economy... then you turn around and say most people will wait to play the most anticipated game of all time on the most powerful hardware...on PC... which would be substantially more money.    Why do the folks financial situation only matter when a PlayStation is involved?  But they wont blink at 2-3 thousand dollar PC builds?

All of this when we already know consoles make up the vast majority of GTA5 players.  

No, what I meant is PC gamers, who are the most numerous group of gaming audience like me, will choose to wait for the PC release. The majority of PC gamers that are in higher income brackets, have probably at least middle class Ampere GPU like RTX 3080, with Core i7 and 16 GB of DDR5 Ram. There's no point for us to purchase PS5 to play the game. People like me have even more powerful hardware, there's no need to upgrade to play GTA 6 in 2027 or 2028. Hopefully, I made myself clearer now.

Also, given the open world nature of the game and probably mandatory RT. This game won't run well on PS5. Rockstars engine probably will be more optimized for Nvidia hardware based on previous games. Also, I may be mistaken, but this time around the sales of PS5 won't increase much thanks to both Wolverine and GTA 6, as the console is in very mature stage of market presence.

You start off talking about PC gamers in Their multitudes then talking about higher income bracket PC only gamers with socioeconomic aware graphics cards  ..but here we are.   I would suggest that their income bracket might not be as high as you think.  

Your comment about the PS5 not running well is unsubstantiated. The only footage we have is running on a PS5 and it looks great... better than nearly everything that has come before it.  It looks like a billion dollar game.  Sure the PS5 isn't the most powerful setup ever but it runs games very well.  I had a similar realization when I got my Switch 2... its not as powerful as my PS5 Pro for sure but it runs games just fine and im not bothered when playing it.  

According to your logic no one would buy a third party game in Switch 2.

The average PC on Steam is weaker than a PS5 so the majority of PC gamers are not a part of the cohort you described.    I think your logic makes sense for you but I would caution against extrapolating out your own anecdotes to encompass all gamers. I suppose we all do it to some extent.
