Quite a random report says that gamers will switch from PC to console en masse around 2022 due to the hardware that the new consoles will carry.
PC Gaming has been killed by netbooks, tablets, smartphones and a million times by consoles. Despite all the king of gaming is still the PC, another thing is casual gaming, where the smartphone reigns. Now a wild report has appeared saying that until 2022 there will be a migration from PC to console. The report says that millions of gamers will leave the PC to go to the consoles. They are based on the arrival of the next platforms from Sony and Microsoft and the improvement in the SmartTV experience.
Report says gamers will move from PC to consoles in droves
Jon Peddie Research, a market analysis company that sometimes hits the jackpot, is the one who releases the report. According to they say, more than 20 million users will put aside their PCs and go to the console. They say that the jump will be due to the improvement of the console hardware and the new SmartTVs. They also highlight that one of the reasons will be the prices of the hardware, which they say is getting expensive. Yes, an Intel processor is expensive, but you have those from AMD, cheaper and GPU, three-quarters of the same with NVIDIA and AMD.
Virtually new console hardware will approximate PC hardware, although we will see to what extent. It will also be necessary to see if it will be a punctual and temporary thing or will it remain in time. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One already use PC hardware, even if this is an entry-level PC that can barely handle FullHD 1080p. Both consoles scale to 4K, since at this resolution the games give 30FPS with a lot of jerks.
Samsung and other brands are adding VESA Adaptative Sync, also known as FreeSync. This is because the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft will be based on AMD graphics.
Expectations, which right now, seem unrealistic. Epic Games and Valve compete to be the best store today. Intel will arrive shortly with its graphics cards for gaming. NVIDIA and AMD will not give up on a PC gaming market that moves hundreds of millions annually. And users looking for gaming on PC, looking for things that consoles, despite everything, do not offer, such as mods, for example.
