Holidays 2017:

Nintendo Switch : 249$ (low)  (if you love nintendo, or also handhelds)

XB1s/PS4s : 199-249$ (low)  (budget option)

PS4pro : 349$ (mid)  (best bang for buck)

XBscorpio : 449-499$ (high)  (highest performance)

Definitely Scorpio is going to  more expensive, a big heavy console and probably have power brick too.  But the performance difference will just be the resolution bump like 900P vs 1080P or 720P vs 900P we see now. However this time Scorpio will have resolution advantage. But they are both competing with each other and are comparable.

So you want PC gaming dead and ruled by Sony and MS?, I always thought you had some dictatorship and hatred for another market, but I didn't think you were that forward.

The PC market will continue to exist as it always has done. Sony won't be ruling it with a console, neither will MS let alone Nintendo, PC's are used to make our games, to run just about everything on this rock, the alst thing NASA is going to want to buy is a Sony PS20 for their space program.

I do wish you'd be a little  more considerate towards those that want more options rather than "get out, go the way of the dodo" type reduction in options.

its actually 4

It's going to save gaming, of course it's good for the consumer and industry

Blackberry is still around, but it is almost strictly for business use. Listen, I don't want to se PC die. I know that there is a need for the platform. From hardcore gamers, to science, to photo and video editors, and much more, there are a lot of things extreamly high end computers are good for.

There are a lot of areas where PC's are extream wastes of money, and create complications for businesses though as well. A great example is the company I work at. They bought dozens of Dell OptiPlex 7040 PC's for employees of all levels. These PC's ran roughly $1000.00 a piece, and only have an i5, and 4GB of RAM, they didn't even opt for the 8GB model. After purchasing them, they realised that they couldn't handle a few of the applications many people use daily, so they ended up going back and getting 1 of the 8GB models for each area. Even these are struggling to run the apps that were an issue before because they are GPU limited.

Had my company instead struck a deal with MS to use Xbox Ones for their fleet of computers, they could have saved $1,000's of dollars, and had devices more than capable of running the programms they need the employees to access to complete their work. Then had they went even further and made it a company wide effort, they could have assured that they had standard hardware across the entire company, and not just one business unit. This would have made programming much easier, and allowed them to focus more on making our tools better, instead of constantly trying to figure out why the programms run fine in one area, or on one computer, but won't run right or even open on another.

So, I don't think PC's should completely die off, but I do think they should become more niche, and focused in the areas that they can be benificial, or bring joy to those that need/want extreamly high levels of brute power. For the rest of use though, consoles offer much btter value, and create a much better ecosystem for creaters. If consoles can take over PC's in global sales, and more people are using them daily, then software creaters can focus more clearly on a very narrow set of hardware to create much more optimized, and advanced programms with much less time. And, just like with my company, they could focus on making better products, instead of trying to figure out why things arn't working across the 1000's of different device they are trying to run their programs on.

For quite a long time console gaming is loosing money on hardware and minimum spec. It will always be behind spec but price wise the loss hardware model isn't good. We need upgraded model to let change consumers mentality.
