That's generally how I feel too, though at this point, with Microsoft bringing their games over to PC, it's mostly a question of getting a PC or Xbox Series X and missing out on PS5 and Switch exclusives. At least in terms of AAA games, there aren't any that are "PC exclusive" these days, though obviously some are console exclusive. Nintendo is still king when it comes to exclusives, and I already have a Switch for that very purpose. IMO the extra power and PC features of Xbox Series X makes it a better choice than a PS5, even with PS5 exclusives, but no doubt views will differ.
I agree, but so long as consumers are content buying expensive GPUs (and they clearly are, with the Nvidia and AMD cards flying off the shelves faster than they can be stocked), I don't see prices coming down. Unfortunately. It seems that PC gamers, on the whole, are accepting of paying ridiculously higher prices than what consoles offer.
True, although I feel that as notebook gamers, our ability to tinker with our computers is not too greatly different from console owners at this point. Like console gamers, just about the only meaningful hardware we can upgrade these days is storage. RAM too I suppose, but that's not really something to write home about. We do get more ability to tinker with software features, though even there, the gap between consoles and PCs is closing. But yes, Steam and Epic sales are probably not going to be beat anytime soon (although with GamePass, even those sales are less attractive).
