The trend will stop when AMD starts to make competitive gpus at much lower prices
MS and Sony have these things they call consoles to sell you. They have terrible CPUs that would never have made the slightest dent in the market without having been propped up by this duopoly and the added bonus of causing consumers and developers to buy/release 3 different versions of the same game for the same x86 hardware platform. MS and Sony would like to tell you that you're very fortunate to be able to not buy into a single x86 hardware platform with a single software layer (Vulkan and OpenGL on Linux) — and also that you can, indeed, get AMD gpus at much lower prices. They are very "competitive". If they weren't, wouldn't we have so many other "consoles" to choose from?
