I wonder if history will repeat with PCs, and especially handheld PCs, a market which the Steam Deck effectively sparked into life, while Nintendo, PS, and Xbox crash and burn should there be a second Video Game Crash any time soon.
Because all three of the current console vendors aren't doing great at all, in fact Xbox is basically already dead and even the Switch 2 seems DOA as far as exclusives go and it's very much maligned by the press atm, while PC seems to be doing fine comparatively especially considering the success of the Steam Deck and the other PC handhelds which followed it.
great question. i think it would be super difficult to predict the future of gaming technology at this point
