The real problem with this whole idea is that it's NOT any technical achievement that allows consoles to remain viable despite the presence of PCs.

Consoles have and ALWAYS will have certain key features that NO PC will EVER have:

1) Hardware specs that remain consistent through every console of the same type. Every Wii can play every Wii game, Every 360 can play every 360 game. There is no minimum specs, or incompatible graphics card because they are designed SPECIFICALLY for that system.

 

 

 

That can be applied to consoles as well,"OMG I CANT PLAY GEARS OF WAR ON MAH XBOX 1 WTFBBQSAUCE"

And with a high end PC you wont need to upgrade for 10+ years more than a console life,but people are gonna say "TEH PS3 10 YEAR PLAN" there will be a PS4 released in 6 years into the PS3 life so yea...
