But, in dreamland, Metal is just so much friendlier to code for that the combined Mac, iPhone, iPad, Vision ecosystem is large enough to finally justify studio investment vs afterthought.  A REALLY quick look suggests about 50 million PS5’s so far and ~110 million network users overall.  Obviously, those are ‘pure gamer’ numbers but they’re still dwarfed by Metal’s TAM and console’s are hard.
