  Wouldn’t that imply it’s not a growing market anymore?

    Yes, if PC sales wouldn’t be growing

      I think the jump is more Covid related than having to do with any of the other consoles.

        Possible, but the market grew after that as well, while consoles stagnated.

        I got a PC in 2020 when PS5 was released for 1200€ at your scalper of choice. So the statistics reflect my own switch perfectly.

    Yes, its a mature market. We are likely at a point where a new competitor or innovation focused incumbent takes a swing at a new tech.
