My read on this is that they don’t think the price of consumer components is ever going to come down, and that they’re not going to waste resources on something they think is going to become a marginalized platform.

Side note: the AI bubble cannot pop soon enough. Fuck Ai.

Eh, even if PC/component sales drop to zero, PC will still be the biggest platform with hundreds of millions of active users.

In this AI bubble Playstation is also a marginalized platform. Sony is also struggling under the memory shortage and rumors are the PS6 has been pushed forward another year because you can't launch a new platform in this economy. They will fare better because they can make special deals to get the hardware they want, but at what price? If PS6 starts costing something like $700 they're not going to be all that successful.

Yeah.

That’s my sad read. They think gaming PCs are going to die as a market; mind as well get out now and push PlayStation instead.
