No… How do you get to the jump from 'purchasing a game on console', to 'consoles are dead'? As long as prices remain what they are for quality PC components, consoles will always be a thing. Also, some people just don't care about having a PC. Reply

If Xbox sells a PC compatible device, it allows Sony to potentially reach "Xbox" owner directly, and not give a cut to MS (Same for Steam sales, which might cause them to stop releasing on Steam or wait longer if the cross buy is a hit) Reply

Yep, all that was keeping consoles afloat was not being able to play PS games on PC. But with this huge, huge news, everything has changed. Everyone will link keyboards around a bonfire, sing computer camp love, burn controllers, replace Switches with steamdecks, and download install Ubuntu. Triumph is most definitely the correct word to use here, Triumph of good over evil, and people enjoying themselves without your approval. Victory! Reply
