No, I don't think so. You'd have to add a lot of fluff to have get a gaming PC that costs over a million dollars.

How does a luxury car change your commute significantly?
Or a luxury watch change your awereness of the time!
I would say an expensive high-end PC with total overkill in SSD storage, RAM and multiple GPUs adds plenty significant convenience when you never have to even look at settings or available disk space etc and it always runs great on your expensive 8k monitor. Ocourse the real luxury would be having someone to maintain it for you.
Plus showing off your luxury PC is no problem, just post screenshots of demanding games running at 8K 144fps without a sweat. Or put your living room PC on display

Luxury cars aren't made to make commute more convenient... sport cars then is even the opposite of it.
The purpose of them is look exclusive and show your status. And nope, even the top PC isn't exactly luxury (although expensive for me).
The very idea of luxury is being "unecessary". So PCs and consoles with gold and diamond is the luxury versions of both. But on performance itself the gap between a gaming PC and a regular console can be seen as massive on paper, but on impression it isn't the same as comparing Veyron to Panda.

Markets don't magically appear - you need to create them, first, with a strong advertisement campaign. But I'm pretty sure that it could be done. As said, gaming pcs really cannot be described as luxury products. They are expensive, for their tech, but it's clear that the market they address do not care about things such as convenience/ease-of-use, or looks, which are a major part of how luxury products usually try to distinguish themselves. |
You do know there are cases that reach into the thousands, right?
You do understand just how much extra money some people spend on RGB lighting, right?
Also, go look up StarVR, high end VR intended for arcades and stuff.

I'm not sure what kind of fluff you could add to make it cost over $1 million ... my imagination on how to add so much cost fails me. Maybe build a house to hold it in? xD
Once upon a time these fabled "luxury consoles" existed... they were called the 3DO, CD-I, and Neo-Geo. They all cost $600+ at launch making them completely unaffordable to the average household, and 2 out of 3 of those consoles are ranked as some of the worst of all time, with the 3rd being essentially a home version of an arcade cabinet with games averaging $200 in price.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
Playing video games IS luxury. Every bit of it.

I have already given evidence of PC's costing over 1 million smacko's prior in this thread.

Premium priced gaming is by definition a luxury.
Particularly compared to F2P models.
If you really want to see what money can buy you in games if you're rich, however, play some chinese MMOs or Project Entropia.
