    But wouldn’t people just stick with their current PC instead of downgrade?

    Especially because they very likely can get a better CPU with the same socket, and a better graphics card.

    I find it hard to imagine a scenario where you would go to less RAM instead of keeping what you have.

      What if your GPU or RAM dies?

      I mean as long as your PC is still viable, sure. But at some point even a partial downgrade can be an upgrade in some ways.

        Yeah but we are talking about a widespread drop in the average, which I’d think would be more influenced by people upgrading (or not) rather than gear dying.
