There are so many indications pc gaming will be the dominant gaming platform in the coming years. At the expense of consoles.
* pc is easier than ever to get into, whether you are building your own or buying a laptop.
* Huge social media presence and zeitgeist. Pc gaming has an huge presence in social media. And its growing every year. In games media it is already dominant.
* An whole generation of kids being fostered into pc gaming with minecraft, roblox, fortnite etc. They will continue to game on pc as they grow older.
* Extremely strong growth in developing countries.
* Crossgen development on console, delayed next gen adoption on an software level. It is going to make lesser pc even more valid. And in two, three years its going to be very cheap to buy an pc that vastly exceeds current consoles.
* Most if not all games, including previous exclusives available on pc. Games sell systems, pc has all of them.
Everything points to pc being the dominant platform going forward. The only hurdle is the bitcoin miners driving up gpu prices. But i dont think that will matter much in a year or two. When low end pc hardware will exceed consoles anyway.
