That makes a lot of sense. I thought it was really odd that there were 50+ pages for Switch games but only like 3 for PC games. Reason would say that if you're buying a $2000 PC, you're less likely to have a desire to not pay for games. Even I've moved away from PCs and switched to Android emulation because of price.
I'd definitely be more likely to buy a Switch or PS4 than a new PC right now. And I'd probably be pirating on them
And cryptocurrency mining. That drove a lot of GPU prices through the roof before the pandemic.
Also, most young kids play games on phones and tablets, because parents don't need to buy an expensive console or PC.

GPUs are dirt cheap right now.
Very recently, and "dirt cheap" is a stretch. Dirt cheap compared to the pandemic years, sure.
