No, kids, console gaming is equally dead. But in reality it's not what you think it is:
- This Black Friday hardware sales were up to 80% lower than years before. People simply do not want to invest in hardware, since any hardware will not bring you stable FPS.
My GPU price grew $6 during the last four months, despite RAM shortages. Some tried to raise prices, but lost even more — people do not buy that shit.

Modern assets streaming be like: we updated the game! Now it just no longer loads up anything if you have 8GB VRAM!

And all the most popular graphics cards are not having sufficient VRAM for AAA games (3080 10GB and 5070 12GB are the most powerful among the first 20). Despite the developers push to higher and higher VRAM consumption and using unique textures for literally everything.
Fortunately, Radeon market share grew from 15.2% in mid-2024 to 18.5% by late 2025. Intel stays the same, since they only released B580 and B570, which wasn't enough to noticeably fill the market.
