I'm surprised to find out that PC gamers also buy consoles

That's assuming that everyone would buy a new desktop whenever they want to upgrade their gaming solution.

Even if they did I find more people are interested in a laptop, tablet, or just using their phones when it comes to basic computing because they can take it to work/school/etc or sit on the couch with it and they don't need a dedicated workspace in the house. Gaming laptops get expensive quick when compared to a basic one and they often don't have the longevity when it comes to gaming because they are difficult or impossible to upgrade. Tablets/phones aren't really an option for gamers outside the high end windows tablets but again price escalates.

Besides that a new PC has far more processing power than basic computer use requires (which is why a cheap windows tablet can often take its place) and has had for quite a long time now. Why replace a desktop that doesn't have any issues and at what point is it impractical to upgrade an older rig?

When sim-like mechanics show up in popular AAA games, they often get lampooned by design critics as "poor design" and "poor QoL". I'm starting to think there's more people then they realize that simply enjoy "Keeping track of where I left my horse."
