@Sticky: Right... "Don't buy console on day 1" is different thing than "Don't buy console period".
And the OP's claims of volatility seem... weak. Sony's "Disaster" PS3 gen still won the gen over-all.
Likewise Sony winning again with PS4 (bigger, from start this time) was not any surprise at all.
You have to consider that evidence of overall structural brand strength when considering possibility
MS Scorpion "true" 4K (vs well received checkerboard) @ higher price could suddenly reverse sales ratio.
As if game devs would immediately jump ship from Sony's 2:1 install base to dev for new platform.
Realize: PS5 will probably be out by time any new AAA game beginning development now will be released!
And bigger picture, the Big 2 are now so similar to each other (and PC) that x-platform dev is no big deal.
Obviously one or the other will have better res, FPS stability etc, but no different than different PC rigs.
(where NVIDIA/AMD optimizations do have impact on what games play well on what rigs)
So the "volatility" just isn't an issue for x-platforms, and exclusives will be there regardless.
And get real, whatever success Nintendo has with Switch is irrelevant to competition with Big 2.
So if the OP has other reasons they want to focus on PC, great. Otherwise, Sony remains solid bet.
They seem to be putting out great games on PS4/Pro for now, and their next PS5 coming out ~2019.
And regardless your choice, enjoy playing what you want, don't get caught up in platform war hype.
Because even if you "win" in that area, you are wasting your time with internet bickerspam and not gaming.

Wii won last gen if you like it or not. PS3 is my prefered system of last gen and PS4 is this gen but Wii beat both PS3 and 360 pretty easily.
