I know the numbers but you forget many are holding back, yes even I have not bought anything new for at least 4 years.... fill in the missing info why I did not buy anything new. Now AMD pumps so much new stuff on the market which kinda do make me feel that it can add to the performance but I am waiting till I see big navi has arrived and has been tested.
That's for me the obvious choice but only if its not at again a premium high price like nvidia constant is doing.
Why I am holding back is clear I play my games at present only with 1440p and this far I seen no reason to upgrade from my intel i7 7700k. The new ones are all hot heads and 6 or more cores do actually not much for gaming.
The other reason is that nvidia has not send me the RTX Titan CEO so I can play games much nicer on near full 4K.
But I guess that was another paper launch as well till now nobody has seen benchmarks nor seen this card ever in real life.
And knowing a lot of ceo's non of them bragging about having this gifted to them, means that its probably a fiction release.
I have did chat lately with alot of friends to ask if they have upgraded their game pc's and guess what .... the answer is clear most did not. Most wanted to upgrade only a part of the pc for the same reason I did not buy anything new in the last years.
Intel and nvidia hardly have released anything which does actually make sense for gaming. Again there are no games which really benefit from more than 4 cores, the only thing what matters is kinda the gpu. And the guys all said I am not going to buy anything new for a long time till prices become normal again.
The last releases are all at insane high prices and most people did not get paid more or even much less for the work they done.
In my country the recent year where full of companies, banks and even gov. holding on back on paying better salaries. Many of my friends lost their jobs because of the every crisis which popped up. So only the happy few are left which becomes every year a smaller amount of people. So what do you do when your income drops, indeed you put the money into the bank or pay of your house mortgage. That is why most of my friends and I and many others stopped buying.
While silly intel and nvidia keep pumping up the prices for hardware because they felt they are the kings. Well again that made me keep my money in my pocket as well.
So those figures actually show that young people who can spend alot will choose to buy something new from the money they do not have to spend on rent and food.
