My money is on the pandemic

Welp, you'll have to make due with different systems until 2023.

If Sony are smart they'd be pulling out all the stops for new and unique games for the PS5

Maybe you're right and they'll both just last forever.
PC gaming forever from now on I suppose.

Feels tougher to be a PC gamer right now tbh. From my experience getting a PS5 or XSX was far easier than getting a GPU for MSRP.

You don't need crazy specs to play PC games. A prebuild will suffice.

That's really hard, as the PS5 shortage is not likely to end until 2023.
COVID on the other hand might kill off all of the republicans before then.

Given that the PS5 shortage is due in part to the pandemic, probably the pandemic.

PS5 shortage because eventually people will realize there's nothing important that you can't play on last gen or PC. Then again, betting on people having common sense is a losing bet...

Why? People are desperately trying to buy the console w/o such games, so there's not much need to even try.

Depends on how we define "go away". There's always the scenario where the pandemic improves but is still significant, which allows the global microchip shortage to improve enough for console production to increase.

Though another factor is cryptomining. As long as people keep buying up tons of tech it's going to extend the shortages even longer. It's absolutely a large part of what's making things as bad as they are right now.

You do realize that PCs are also suffering from the microchip shortage, yes?

If things last too long, it's going to start becoming really difficult to maintain a gaming PC as well.

Easily covid. We're mostly vaccinated and the chip shortage is predicted to go on for a loooong time.

Yeah I get that, but I also think even with an outdated PC there is still a ridiculous amount of good titles to enjoy.
The HDD on my PC I got in 2012 recently died and I probably would have been good for a long time if I had JUST replaced the HDD, but I decided on a brand new system anyway.
