Peter Moore Warns $800 Consoles Could Push Gamers to PC as AI Chips Squeeze Supply

Summary
Peter Moore said soaring console prices could become a “real test” for dedicated hardware, arguing gamers may abandon consoles if systems approach $800.
AI-driven chip demand and a broader component crunch are raising manufacturing costs and squeezing supply, he said, leaving hardware makers struggling to earn enough profit.
Moore said consoles still remain necessary for now, but he expects a future where a TV-embedded chip and near-zero-latency streaming replace a separate box.
Xbox has already warned the component crisis could worsen in 2027, adding pressure on future devices such as Project Helix and the PS6.
