This thread is a pretty close minded way of looking at things

Why would ANYONE buy ANY console when you could always build a better PC. The answer is simple, many people especially those that arent "hardcore gamers" like the ease of use a console offers. If you go to the store to buy a 360 or PS3 game you know you can go straight home, stick it in your console and it will run perfectly fine. You also know there is zero need to worry about upgrading parts and compatibility issues until the next console releases.

For many core gamers like us PC gaming isnt that difficukt to figure out but we are the minority. The vast majority of gamers who play on console dont know anything about how to build a rig, how Steam works, or how to even gauge system requirements

This. 

Also as others have stated lot of japanse games don't make to the PC. It's starting to change a little bit but still far off. Also games like Red Dead Redemption are still not available for pc. Convenience and desire to play console exclusives makes one get a certain console. Same reason you got a Wii U superchunk.

This... Also ignoring Halo just because you find it boring is just showing how this thread is already close minded.

Basicaly you are ignoring the fact that a good majority of console gamers prefers consoles for a lot of different other reasons than being able to play PC games, like the ease of use, no need to upgrade for years, no need to worry about compatibility issues, no need to know anything about computer, very specialized operating system oriented to gaming and multimedias, Xbox Live integration (I'm missing a lot of other good reasons but those are mainly mine) etc... I'm using my PC to play games like World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Eve Online etc... but I prefer my Xbox 360/controllers versus PC/mouse/keyboard for any other game by a mile....
