Weekly poll: what device do you use for gaming? A smartphone, tablet, PC or console? | Infinium-tech
The gaming market has been rough this decade — first COVID slowed the rollout of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
This has driven up prices for smartphone makers, but PCs and consoles have also been affected – the PS5, Xbox, Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch have all become more expensive. And these are some of the more high-profile products. Services are also feeling the pain – Microsoft wanted to raise the price of Game Pass, but changed its mind after overwhelming complaints from users.
Things are so bad that Nvidia is re-releasing the GeForce RTX 3060 (originally from 2020), AMD is re-releasing the Ryzen 7 5800X3D (from 2022) and Intel is reportedly considering new designs that will work with DDR4 RAM.
Smartphones rarely reuse old silicon, although it is known to happen. The problem is that cutting-edge nodes are expensive, so flagship and high-end gaming phones are getting more expensive. And now even the middle class people are seeing an increase in prices.
This all got us wondering – what do you all use for gaming? A PC or maybe an x86 handheld? An ARM handheld, whether Switch or otherwise? Home console or game streaming service? A tablet or a smartphone?
Note: You can select more than one option.
