I am just saying the new consoles are going to start out handicapped in terms of where the marketis going: 4k 120 FPS/Raytracing.
Doesn’t matter if they wait a year or 5. A low end/next gen card is always going to push the price of the consoles too high. Unless it’s a few years old in which case you’re back to where we are now and with every previous generation of consoles: still behind the PC in comparison to capabilities.

Even with the handicap though, consoles sell in the millions because they are relatively cheap (compared to PCs) and the function out of the box with next to zero issues (have fun with the bloatware on a PC). Just like with Apple products, people pay a reasonable premium for ease of use where everything just works all the time, every time without much (if any) effort. You plug up a console, set your resolution and internet connection and then start playing your games. PCs you have a lot more cabling to connect, have to spend time messing with video settings to get the optimal frame rates that work with your specific graphics card and monitor.
