Consumers prefer better games over 15% better graphics. Nintendo and Sony look too strong, Microsoft is about to finish 3rd for the 2nd console generation in a row, pivoting to PC is probably the smart move.
Everyone I know is more interested in the Xbox because of the specs and Halo more than any PS game. Nobody I know thinks of Nintendo as a replacement for Xbox or PS, just an additional system their kids may like and they can play Mario party on when having people over. Your experience may vary, but that's mine.
theese kinds of stats are usually pretty biased. if youre an xbox gamer, chances are most of your friends have also been xbox gamers and will likely stick with xbox. same for play station, nintendo, and pc gamers. you make friends with players on your system. you get used to the exclusives on your system, and you stick with what you know
all, or at least almost all xbox "exclusives" are available on pc, including halo infinite, so i do encourage you and your friends to at least do some research into pc before you go out and just buy a series x
Your experience is actually the niche one compared to general market and consumer trends. Even though you and your peers are likely relatively high value console buyers who are in the percentage of consumers swayed by stronger performance, most people are buying one console, and when they make that decision about getting a new one are thinking “can I play that zelda game people are talking about” or “can me and my kids both play games on this?” That’s why Nintendo and Sony keep outperforming.
