I mean, they’ve been trying it since gen 7, I don’t know how it’s a major surprise to anyone who has any interest in console gaming
Anywho, as someone who was primarily a console gamer when I was a kid, getting a gaming PC was probably the best gaming investment I’ve made; the experience is just way better in every way

I kinda hope consoles will just die.
Because half of what’s making PC games such unoptimized shit is that game developers develop for console first, then do a shitty unoptimized port for the PC version. “Just run it through a compatibility layer! Why not a full-blown emulator? PCs have more performance than consoles, so they can handle it! If they don’t like gaming at 1080p 12fps, they should just upgrade to dual 5090s! It runs fine on our dev’s $20,000 workstation!”
If they built the game for PC in the first place, about half of the optimization problems and egregiously bad performance in new releases could be alleviated.
(Only half, though. We still need to contend with rushed delivery schedules that make optimization something devs don’t have time for, sheer laziness, and now AI slop in the code as well.)

I mean, the only thing keeping them alive is honestly the fact they’re sold as a loss. If they ever for whatever reason stop doing that, they will probably just die, cause otherwise they’re just worse than getting a regular computer =w=
Though with the price increases and with the decline of AAA quality they might just die despite that, who knows

Isn’t the Steam Machine much more expensive than most consoles?
