I find console gamers to be a lot like I-Phone owners. In a way it is FOMO but its missing out on the new shiny. I remember an old internet joke about some product that released a new version like double the price and its like "yes we know you have it but do you have it in red?" and sometimes that notion in quite accurate.
In all fairness, GPU buyers can be the same.
Absolutely agree. Many companies may a serious profit off of that innovator/early adopter "new shiny" purchasing mentality (to put it in marketing terms). I use to buy new GPUs as soon as they came out but began to realize the jumps in quality were not enough to justify the cost. Now I just wait until my PC struggles to play a game I want to play.
Yeah I agree. I bought a PC with a 3090 in it a couple years back (was a good deal) with the intent to keep the GPU until I struggled to run anything I ran or wanted to. So far so good and I see no need for a 4000 series or a 5000 series level GPU in my future plans.
