This entire ‘PC March’ we have been looking at all the great things PC gaming can bring us. That’s a lot and it’s only going to get better. PlayStation and Xbox will also bring their exclusive games to the PC. Sometimes with delay, but they do come. Then why do you still need a console? Every analyst agrees that the PC will become increasingly popular. However, will that transition take place soon? Or will the PC have to take a back seat in 2024?
