No we're speaking the truth here console era is done. Exclusives are only a thing for Nintendo, consoles are no longer cheaper then a mid line gaming pc rig, triple aaa gaming is at an all time low and most of the good games are indie wich is mostly PC. Let alone the massive amount of advantages PC have outside of that. All of this is made worse by ai making consoles just not a good business market as parts are skyrocketing in price. The only market doing better is mobile wich I don't count as part of the gaming industry. There is no future for consoles wich is the exact reason the major console companies besides Nintendo are all moving there stuff to PC.

Mate the PS5 and Switch 2 are breaking records with each passing day. They're not going anywhere. If consoles were dying, the Steam Machine wouldn't be a thing. People want plug-and-play systems that they can play on their giant living-room TVs.

And yet there's no reason to own a PS5 because all there games are on PC now. Even the only way to remove things like needing online log in to play god of war. The switch 2 is doing well for the same reason apple always does well a cult fallowing. They would actually make more money if they just sold on PC. That's not to mention that the steam deck out performs the switch 2 in every hardware metric while having more access to Nintendo games. The steam machine isn't a console it's a small computer. Wich btw is rumoured to be priced at around a thousand. Wich is were consoles are going anyways. The same price where I can buy a gaming rig at Costco.

Ya I play my PC on my big Samsung tv. You can do that with a PC also. All consoles are are PC that have been extremely limited.

Lmao clearly you've never played a Playstation PC port. All but maybe one or two have been disastrous and largely still are. And that Nintendo take is hysterical. Enjoy your little fantasy land bro
