But almost everyone already has a laptop, so they don’t need to buy anything new. And if you really need more performance, you could spend the console budget on an external GPU for your laptop.
I guess if your only current computer is ARM or you have a low end chromebook it could make sense?
I’m a PC enthusiast, but I think you’re greatly overestimating how much computing power the average, non-computer focused (read: most) people have access to. The “computer” in a ton of households is a smartphone, tablet, or the budget laptop they got their kid for school. Unless they bought the laptop with gaming or demanding productivity in mind, they’re not playing anything except older titles or small, non-demanding games.
The idea that “almost everyone already has a laptop” that they can just play games on just isn’t a reality.
You’d be surprised how untrue this is. Additionally a large proportion of people that do have laptops that aren’t really capable of anything more than web browser and office stuff (or macos which can’t run the majority of games).
I don’t get how that makes sense, the price of everything is going up
It’s not like ps5 is going up while PCs are staying the same price
