&gt;I *hope* the market grinds them into the dirt

As do Sony and Microsoft as these cards are selling consoles faster than any marketing possibly could.

...wait both consoles are made with AMD silicon.  I think we now know why AMD doesn't seem interested in actually beating Nvidea, or undercutting prices.  The higher the price of graphics cards the more money AMD makes off consoles.

As has been pointed out in the past, the margins on those chips aren't great. So AMD might see a minor bump in profits from increased console sales but it isn't where the majority of their do$h comes from, and wouldn't make sense for their bottom line (which is literally the only thing corporations care about, and I'm using literally correctly here) 

I don't think they're leveraging the security those contracts give them to force nvidia into an untenable position so much as they caught the greedbug and are paying for it in kind. 

Seriously good point though, If I was wanting to get into gaming why the fuck would I go buy an $800-1200 GPU when a $500 console will still play games with raytracing or at 4k resolutions?
 

I don't know anyone personally who wants to play games at 4k on a standard size (~27") computer monitor, 4k is best for the living room because large 50"+ displays have lower pixel density and directly benefit from increased resolution. 

Nvidia is trying to convince us that 1080p gaming is a thing of the past but for 99% of people with conventional setups, pushing 144hz+ on a 1080p (or 1440p) monitor is the objective. 

It's funny, back in the early days of PCMR vs consoles on reddit one of the main points "peasants" would parrot is it costs thousands of dollars to build a midrange PC, and it's sort of true now lol
