When I worked retail I tried to explain to some men and they just didnt care. It was part of their comfort routine and even as the prices spiked, they were still willing to cough up the cash.
Its not like its an absurd scam level problem. The difference between a console and a simple PC is probably pretty small depending, especially if you need to buy keyboard/mouse/monitor as well. And for a lot of guys whose entire library is "CoD, NBA, and a few others" its not even a real loss of opportunity as those games will always be on those platforms in their most updated form. The vast majority of console guys are only "gamers" in the loosest sense, and that will always be the case.
Difference is, they were raised on consoles. Its much harder to break habits, however that group is continuing to shrink because the price disparity is so notable and just keeps getting worse for consoles.
