as a PC gaming enthusiast I can't help but see the new consoles as cutdown & restricted architecture with numerous shortfalls compared to gaming PC's, on the upside it is clear console gamers are in for a real treat with a huge jump in performance, what has gobsmacked the PC tech world is the low-low price given the tech inside. regardless of cutdown GPU, fixed clock speeds, reduced cuda cores bla bla bla the new Xbox has some very nifty tech jiggery-pokery to help boost its performance, there has been a clear shift in focus towards console as this kind of cutting edge jiggery-pokery usually comes to PC first, another added bonus for console is keyboard & mouse compatibility which will help console players in crossplay as no gamepad can compete with keyboard/mouse.
Clock speed is king when it comes to gaming & that's where PC's rule supreme as they can unleash the full potential of the tech inside but it comes at a cost... under £500 console against £2k upwards PC no wonder it's being branded as a PC killer in many peoples eyes.
as a side note for those who think the Xbox is dear... the GPU alone is basically a cutdown RTX2080ti which until recently would cost you £1200 to £1500 on its own, Consoles are entering a new era with this generation of tech... it isn't an upgrade... it's new breed entirely... new features such as ray tracing is going to blow the minds of console players. Microsoft are taking a loss once again in an attempt to hold onto it gamer base
