You can't say the PS Plus is incredible when the PC offers a free alternative with free games (Steam).
Heck, Steam offers pretty much all the features Live! and the PSN offers alone. All. For. Free.
In comparison Live and the Playstation Plus are horrible value.

Gaming via Steam is stupidly simple these days, whack it into Big picture mode, grab a controller you like, connect it to your TV, done, cheaper alternative to a console.

If PC gaming in its current state is considered "surging," then it's more doomed than I thought.

I've always think that PC gaming is great, but it lacks...dedicated games. There's your indie game here and there only for PC, and your big AAA release from time to time, but it's missing dedicated games.

Now that is what we call constructive post kids. Look above ^^ 

Edit: damn you wright. look above wright

I hate using the keyboard for control input...but I love PC gaming with an Xbox 360 controller. Saints Row IV has had me occupied for a while on the PC.

Steam has some free to play titles that are worthwhile but most get boring/repetitive quickly. What features does Steam offer that I have to pay for on my PS3/PS4? There are even some features on the PS4/PS3 that steam doesn't have which are free to use. Now even next gen consoles are embracing F2P games. Also, I would disagree that PS Plus is horrible value. The amount of money you save with the "free" games/discounts is incredible. Sure you have to stay subscribed to use those games but I don't plan on unsubscribing so it's not an issue for me.

I now game much more on PC, but it has quite a bit of flaws. For example I have to share a Steam account with my brother because buying the game twice on the same PC is stupid.

Don't worry, Microsoft will say they are trying to save PC gaming again and take all of their games. LOL

No, but if MS runs out of games guess where they will be moneyhatting? PC gaming would've never had a drought if the major PC games never entered the console realm. Id, Bethesda,Valve, Bioware, Epic, Bungie, Infinity Ward,  Blizzard, now CDProjekt Red and so many others? Don't tell me you haven't noticed. Even Sony is starting to try to do it to survive against MS with Warframe. I would hate to see how many PC devs jump ship next gen because of them both now.

Yeah but over the course of those 10 years, how many times will you have to upgrade key components to your "beastly" PC such as GPU and RAM (if you haven't already maxed your PC's capabilites out) by that time?

I can guarantee you that in 10 years 32GB of RAM will be like the bare minimum (go back 10 years from today... most PCs only came with half a gig of RAM), and there's no way whatever GPU you're using today will be able to even think about running the latest games even on the lowest settings 10 years from now.  The cost of upgrading those two components alone can easily match the average price of a mid-gen home console (around $300).
