My research group predicts that 30 million Console gamers will move towards PC gaming by 2023.
Now give me all your money.

Okay honestly, this news item is silly.
Moore's law is also affecting every other electronig device... so when we have AMD fabricating console SOCs and normal CPUs, I think they are pretty much crippled by the same issues. Seeing this as a reason to switch to consoles is nonsensical.
TVs are getting better, killing off the need for a console... this will kill consoles, not PC gaming. Games as a streaming service could do that, but this will kill consoles as well, so it's not helping PC gamers to switch to consoles... nonsensical again.
Exclusives on consoles? Since when has that been a new thing, or something that changes things massively? I doubt that this will increase though since the greed is strong, and most money can still be made by games being released on both consoles and PC.
If PC gaming dies (like they have said for a couple of years now), it's not for those three reasons put forward.
edit: To clarify, not posting it is silly, but as usual I have troubles agreeing with JPR.

Sadly where i live a GTX1060 costs more than min wage... Not kiddin. Same also for all other PC components. For an 1080p 60fps gaming PC we need to pay 4.5-5.5X of min wage (all amd system) (for intel/nvidia system it is around 6x-6.5x) Most of the people are waiting for new consoles, new amd zen / navi or game streaming services. Sadly it is same for the game prices, for both pc and consoles, almost 1/4 - 1/5 of min wage, sometimes more. My gpu died a week ago and i simply can't find a good replacement at a reasonable price, i am on nvidia Geforce NOW beta and igpu. I can buy a console (ps4 pro) now here at the same price of an 1070ti gtx, or 1660ti/2060 , depends on seller 2.5-3.5x min wage, but game prices is also so high. I will probably go for a game streaming service and stay there for a long time.

20 million PC gamers, realising there weren't actually gamers in the first place, pleb their asses back to consoles

Think more this is the corporate choice, not the consumer choice.
Both consoles have almost the same hardware which is pretty much a PC, but they have mastered the art of locking out the consumer out....

I moved from consoles because I felt closed in, was unable to tweak my settings and always ran into trouble, but hey, who needs 144hz when we can play platformers in 8K with cinematic 24 fps...
