What makes you say that? I haven't heard much about it.

Exactly, it doesn't seem like that at all. On the contrary, there were comments from companies that they will not make any upgrades or half-gen in this generation.

The current gen machines are very powerful, the only people saying otherwise are PC gamers with too much money, after they spent a car's worth on a GPU. Sure it's possible to make a better PC, it's always possible, but there is the cost for that. Because of this cost the high powered PCs are going to be a slim minority, not really worth mentioning in normal conversation. The reality is the vast majority of PC playerbase have nowhere near as powerful computers as the current gen consoles. In fact many don't even match the last gen, and have to play in low res or low detail modes.

There is absolutely no reason for more powerful consoles at this moment in time.

While this is true for some. I’ve seen some builds for roughly same price as new gen but better specs. It really helps if you know what your doing with a pc and can build your own. If you are buying pre built or having someone build you one it would probably cost more. Either way pricing for a pc to match specs isn’t the price of a car and some people just have a preference of keyboard and mouse instead of a controller.

I never said that. I said a top end GPU is the price of a car, and people with those are calling the current consoles not powerful enough.
