But why? Anyone who just upgraded their PCs with high end parts right before a new console generation came out is very likely exactly the kind of people who do have money to buy a new GPU or CPU every year.BTW, I know a lot of "PC will get better parts after the consoles are released" talk will come up. Let's just say this: I think it's important to view it from a perspective of people who just upgraded their PCs. People don't have money to buy a new GPU or CPU every year.
Anyone who upgraded out of necessity and only got mid tier parts at most would not expect next gen performance out of their builds anyway.
The impact will be the same as every console generation: increasing the base requirements.
