Of course not.
PC hardly get any really big exclusive games, it doesn't have the same power to actually attract content like that as someone making their own platform.
PC top quality parts are really expensive and totally out of reach to most people, making games to fit console top quality is already a struggle, very expensive and risk, there would be no actual boost without them, actually we would have way less solutions on how to code games, as they would really too much in specs that can handle raw coding rather than actual well managed and thoughtful solutions.
Without consoles we would actually have a way, way smaller gaming community and that would actually mean less money to developers to make games so lesser games would come, also, less creativity would happen.

Both console and PC gaming serve their purpose and are needed.
Actually, consoles are the last choice to get rid of if we would need to get rid of one.

A few things..   You can build/buy a PC that does 1080p gaming for $400-500.. and do 1440p gaming at $650..   not really expensive..   you can do SOLID 1080p/60fps gaming EVERY SINGLE DAY on  PC that cost the same as X1/PS4..    people have this OLD misconception that it cost $1000s to do this..

Steam as of March has 125 million ACTIVE users..  and has been adding about 25-30 million users every 6 months.. in the past year..  Likely will be at 175 million ACTIVE users by end of 2015..   again a growth rate FAR large then console.  TOTAL  PS4/X1 users will be at MOST 50 million by end of 2015..  And STEAM is NOT every single gamer.. as there are SEVERAL ways to purhcase games on a PC.     GoG/Origin/Steam/etc.. Estimates for total PC gamers is anywhere from 300-700 million.    Which at the top end.. would be larger then 6th, 7th, and 8th generation console gaming COMBINED.. 

If consoles didn't exist.. PC gaming would likely just be larger..   we are starting to get even more smaller and cheaper "console" like PC gaming units..  This will even more continue to help build PC gaming.. which again.. already has higher revenues then console ...  because A) way more games.. and B) way more users..
