The IBM PC was originally intended as a business console for business jews doing accounting, finance and some mild number crunching.
Now this in itself wasn't unique as due to their relatively high prices compared to today every home computer in the early 1980s targeted businesses in some way with things like color displays and sound being more of a bonus and/or fun thing engineers+programmers put in to see what would happen.
IBM was different from its competition that instead of putting in discrete custom components unique to a given platform it instead relied on the cheapest nigger commodity components as much as it could while still delivering a working computer, with plans to have most machines manufactured not by IBM but third parties via loicense.
It, moreso than its contemporaries, was never ever intended for use with video games, with any games/ports made for it more being a side effect of streetside gamedevs trying to sell their games to as many potential customers as possible or just trying to sell shit in general.
At some point anti-semitic third party companies began producing IBM PC clones using the proprietary BIOS patched to work with slightly different cheap commodity niggerware, which IBM tried to shut down through lawsuits.
A company by the name of Phoenix Technologies then did the unthinkable and reverse-engineered the entire BIOS in a place and way that was uncomfortable and legally untouchable to IBM, they started loicensing it to other manufacturers eager to shit out their own cheap niggerputers while modifying it to suit their own needs, other companies produced their own clone BIOSes in Phoenix' image and the rest is history.
This alone however did not make the "PC" the undisputed Kang of the computer market, as it still lacked many features of competing machines like the Commodore 64, Apple II, Atari's 8 and 16 bit lineups, ZX Spectrum, the Amiga etc.
"PC" competitors generally enjoyed objectively superior graphics and sound while early PC gaymurs had to deal with ebin PC speaker audio if they didn't have a MIDI synth plugged in.
Standards such as VESA and add-in graphics cards began to change this in the late 1980s, but until the widespread adoption of dedicated sound cards carrying Yamaha's OPL synth the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST line were objectively superior for anyone not just wanting to play gayms, but also engage in graphic design, music composition, high-performance autism computing using discrete onboard hardware such as the Amiga's Blitter, some of these things were also possible to do on the PC but with various concessions due to worse Software support.
With the AdLib and Soundblaster line of high-quality dedicated soundcards, fast i386 CPUs from pre-botnet Intel, CD-ROM and many other things the classic discrete Home Computers were eventually murdered on all fronts with their manufacturers unable to keep up with the flexibility and speed at which the interchangeable components of a PC would evolve at.
Every single one of the classic Home Computer giants thus rapidly fell to the PC platform, with Apple only surviving due to Microshaft keeping them alive to avoid an antitrust lawsuit on the grounds of monopoly.
Had Commodore adopted to market needs instead of coasting along on inertia they might've yet managed to evade this fate and remained as a viable competitor, perhaps even inspiring the Japanese to adopt similar practices to elevate their software corpus instead of being old men left behind by a world running ahead of them on the eve of the new millenium.
Stallman, Linus, Raymond among others in 1992 genuinely thought the x86-based PC would be replaced by a platform using a RISC-based CPU architecture running some divinely intellected white man microkernel OS before the end of the century.
No I will not take my meds.
