If i am not wrong the GFX cards ,CPU ,RAM etc every thing (even 3 year old) outperform the so called next gen consoles in each and every department. So what’s so much next gen about it. Why the unreal engine5 demo is being taken as something revolutionary ..can’t it be run on PCs ? Apart from making these powerful machine available to more audiences (as compare to PC with those specs ) at a reasonable price (which yet needed to be seen) i dont see any thing so much next gen about it. What i am missing.

Video game consoles ≠ PC. That’s why. PC is gaming isn’t widely available. Or appealing to the masses. Buy $2,000 worth of parts, and assemble, or just buy an expensive, even though it could be say.. 3 years outdated, PC off the bat. That doesn’t even set you up yet to play games. You have to decide on a launcher, which you’ve already lost most casual gamers just thinking about that. Download your games, then you gotta learn wasd and mouse, unless you have a controller. What if the drivers don’t download correctly? What if you have to manually map your controls?
To ELY5, what’s next gen about the new line of consoles is it brings benchmark gaming to systems meant just to game. Not big, expensive, super-dooers, something you turn on and play, it looks good, plays good, anyone can pick it up and play any given game. The world can live mediocre, we did it with vhs/betamax, DVD/Blu-ray.
