For a change, I am optimistic in this regard.

Regular Joes are a paycheck away from homelessness these days. On the other hand, nobody is buying hardware demanding games as of late because they outright suck and they are so expensive. I don't think people is going to buy new computers in spades next year because a combination of not having a reason to do so and not having the money to do so.

Meanwhile, a lot of the stuff datacenters is buying today is bound to end up in seconday markets in a matter of four to five years.

These (reasonable) predictions combined make it likely for a shart price drop to happen not very far away in the future.
