If i look at PC sales, there is litteraly nobody asking for so called "high end PCs" in te store i work. Console games sell much better, its where the money is made. There is a reason for example Nintendo do not release games on PC. Nobody wants to bother with electronics who crash all the time and need to load/ install more than you can actually play. I would never even touch such a crappy device. I never needed it. Also not in my work!

That anecdote doesn't mean anything since it's a fact that PC gaming has grown a lot lately, especially among young people. Mat Piscatella has said that young people have shifted towards PC and away from consoles compared to previous generations and console games don't sell much better, it varies by game but there's plenty of games where the PC version has sold the most.

Nintendo doesn't release on PC at least not yet cause exclusives matter far more to them than the other two, it's not cause they wouldn't sell. And the rest of your reply is just nonsense. Yes PC's aren't as simple and are more prone to issues that require troubleshooting but on average they work just fine and absolutely don't "crash all the time" or "need to load/install more than you can actually play".

Sony is throwing in their own windows on pc with the forced PSN, which is why Ragnarok had less concurrent player counts than GOW 2018

Oh yeah that will be a factor in why the sequels haven't done as well so far. Though I think the biggest factor is the first Horizon and God of War had novelty to them since they were both among the first three Playstation games ported to PC which probably boosted interest significantly. There's also that it seems the sequels haven't been quite as well received.

Where is the PC at vgchartz? As good as no physical games on PC? Why are there even consoles? Because there are not enough PC fanboys out there using this useless device. It has a personal use for me: A tasty dinner for my Desert Eagle 😋

Well I was already kinda expecting this but after this reply it seems clear now that a lot of your posts are just attempts at trolling so have fun with that I guess.

Trolling? Why? If the PC was such a thing, why is it not included in the hardware charts? Why are there not hundreds of gamers lining up before stores the day a new graphics card (comparable with a new console) launches? But for systems like PS4, Switch, Wii... there where even fights, broken glases and inventory because of a mass hysteria. I never saw anyone lining up for a GTXwhatever or Randeon37482938 GPU. Why? Don't come with the "excuse" of everyone buying online! Then we would see masses of postcars driving through the streets on launch day. To make it short: The PC is not a thing like consoles. Show me a GPU selling like the DS, PS2 or even the Switch! You won't find one...
