I really don't want to get into this discussion very much, seems like a mess. This particular line caught my interest, though.

I rather take exclusive games made by many great developers than modes in PC games which is only to have fun/high details and waste time instead of experience the game in different gameplays.

Many indie games are exclusive to PC so your point is invalid, and indie games are usually the ones that offer completely new experiences. PC gaming offers a lot more variety by default because it's an open platform. Consoles have the advantage only in high-profile, high-budget games, and those are the ones that usually offer the least innovation and new experiences. Also, I see you have never tried a mod, because while mods can offer smaller changes like you described, they can also change the experience completely. Oblivion is an example I have lots of experience with, and the game was made a lot better by mods, and it was made better by making it different in some key areas.

I was talking about AAA titles mostly, however as you're saying indie now almost every indie title is coming to PS4 because of new rules from Sony where they can sell and earn more than PC because Consoles have many users than PC.

But, indie titles can't tell the story and make us involved more than AAA titles like God of War, Last of US, Beyond two souls, Knack etc., and also most of us have limited time for playing games due to life and job so having few AAA titles is better than Hundreds of Indie games.

Regarding mods and PC, i think this is pointless to consier since it cannot be experienced by most of the people because they can't afford to buy the systems which cost atleat 500-800$ and needs regular upgrades to the hardware to play future games(due to poor optimization) and installation of new drivers to get it working etc., howerver still we have bugs/crashes more than Consoles in PC.

I'm talking about a product which can reach wider audience(consoles are affordable for this) not narrower audience(PC can do this).
