I've no horse in this race, I fully intend to skip this gen but it feels like both AMD and Nvidia have lost their minds with the pricing. They have a lot of clever people so maybe I'm wrong, let's see what their sales look like in 12 months.
Longer term wouldn't be surprised if MS or Sony will do a deal with Steam or Epic and kick the bottom out of the gaming pc market. The requirement for iOS and Android to facilitate 3rd party stores could possibly be applied into the console space too.
I honestly think that the best option for many PC gamers on a budget in the years ahead will be Steam Deck.
..by its 2nd or 3rd iteration the kinks will have ironed out, Will come with an OLED screen, improved battery life & games that have specifically optimised for it, which is more than can be said for the utter crap console ports for desktops.
Spending $600 on a new generation Steam Deck every 2-3yrs, will be become very appealing if things continue as they are with the insanity that's going on ATM in the PC space.
