Not really a a fair point. The G4560 is extraordinary value for the money. It is a dual core, but it has hyperthreading. And as much as I was surprised by this when the i3s showed it, hyperthreading helps a lot in situations where 4, well, I'd like to say cores, are expected. The G4560 is eating the whole budget processor market right now – but that does not mean that his example doesn't show something: There are a number of games by now that rely on having a processor that can power multiple threads. And those games profit a lot from having more cores – you can play with the Pentium, and it absolutely is the best pick for a budget build, but you still get budget performance. And that means there are some games that won't run very well with it, and some min-FPS will be lower than one would want.

The pendulum has swung so far far that (some) recent games began to run good on the old FX chips, see Watchdog 2. If not looking at budget chips, having multiple cores is attractive for gamers by now. Maybe the potential of hexa-cores is not used that much yet, but it is obvious that will come, and games like Battlefield 1 do use them already. I think those Ryzen hexa-cores have a very good chance at the market, if their single thread performance is high enough.
