"The model with Intel Core i7-7700 processor and GTX 1060 will cost your around $1300."

Yea no.

Exactly, not when it costs over 3x PS4 Pro.

1. Price.

2. Exclusives.

Pretty quick grounds for failure.

The industry needs to stop defining "console killers" as small form factor PC's. The PC gaming community widely defines a console killer as something that is near the budget of a game console (in some cases the budget of a home console and an average home computer system) yet can perform as well if not better in gaming.

If MSI Trident 3 wants that title of "console killer", then the base-spec should be a 1050 TI, a Pentium G4560, and 8GB RAM. Most gamers play on 1080p60hz displays and those specs guarantee 1080p60fps at graphic settings that can match if not eclipse the PS4

You can buy equally or more powerful laptops at that price point, which kind of makes the whole form factor thing redundant. Also, most of the pretty cost efficient console equivalent PC builds ive seen generally hover around a 50% mark up, not 450%.
