This will probably kill PC gaming. You can buy a PS4 Pro for less than 70k.
I heard this increase is because of a GPU shortage as more and more people are buying GPUs for mining. I also heard theres some new Nvidia graphics cards coming really soon. wondering if that could decrease GPU prices at least a little.
Won't be long before console prices increase as well.
Don't think so...GPU prices are rising because of the popularity of cryptocurrency mining (esp. for AMD GPUs). If anything, console prices will drop further and [sadly] kill PC gaming
