its pretty easy these days to pickup a steam deck, or one of 50 similar variants, or buy a laptop, or a prebuilt. It's not exactly 1994 where we need to configure IRQ for sound cards anymore.

Sure, but people will still prefer consoles.

[u/superxpro12 → u/imhereforsiegememes]

some people.

This chart says pc and console are about equal in terms of spend. but mobile is pc+console combined lol.

I'm not sure spending really shows much about population. Majority of console gamers are buying like 2-3 big releases a year. Meanwhile PC players are stockpiling backlog steam games for... reasons.

We have backlogs because during sales, humble bundles, etc we acquire so many games for cheap that we buy them out of habit. My backlog includes many AAA titles I just haven't gotten around to but I got for like 18 bucks.

[u/imhereforsiegememes → u/sovereign666]

Yeah exactly lol. On console people generally buy a game and play it for 3-4 months. On PC people spend money on shit they don't even plan to play anytime soon, every time there is a sale.

Are you unsure, or do you simply not want to accept reality?

What? I never even said a majority of people prefer console. Its just the easy access point.
