The point is not how many people can afford a 4k TV today, but how many can afford a 4k TV tomorrow? Technology does get cheaper over time, who knows how cheap they will be in a couple of years!
It's a chicken and egg scenario, if no one builds it, no one will support it, someone has to make the first move and if the consoles were a little more forward thinking and made the first move, then all would have been fine in the world.

Also, 4k is just a resolution, developers don't design games with my resolution (7680x1440) in mind, yet I can run games at that level, didn't take any development time away did it?

4k TV's might get cheaper in 5 or more years by then we will have new Console which can do 4k Gaming, so why do we need 4k gaming which is expensive and cannot be experience by most(which is must for developers/manufacturers to be successful)?

Also I say its not affordable for everybody to purchase high end PC's which costs atleast 800$ and must need an upgrade after two years so we'll have to do two upgrades to match the Console life cycle of minimum 5 years, along with we have to face driver issues for the games due to poor optimzation.

What is this, I don't even.

Some games sell better on PC than they do on consoles, it's the developers/publishers fault, not the platform.
There is a reason why League of Legends and Dota are some of the worlds most played games, the developers knew what gamers wanted.

But if you want to get into sales...
Diablo 3, sold what 15 million copies?
Half Life 2 sold about 12-15 million copies.
Minecraft is 11 million copies.
The Sims franchise has sold about 100 million copies.
Dota and League of Legends has 10's of millions of players.
World of WarCraft is over 9,000.

So I reiterate, it's not the platforms fault or even the gamers, people are obviously willing to part with their cash.

The games you have mentioned needs internet always to play them mostly, so it cannot be experienced offline so we can't experience if there is no internet in any future and ever because they need servers to operate which will be shutdown.

What about the games recent games like Tomb raider and bioshock infinite, why they did not do like Consoles sales?

Give these kind of games in PC, Where are the platform games like Sly, Mario, Ratchet and Clank, Little big planet? Where are the racing games like GTourismo, Forza? Where are the JRPG games like Nino kuni and many other Japan RPG games? What about story telling games like Uncharted, heavy rain etc.,? What about FPS games like Halo, Killzone, resistance?

Give me AAA games that match console quality i mentioned above which can be played offline and did sell well in PC.

I don't play games just play for fun and forget. I want to explore the worlds and experience which we can only dream and never possible in real life but can feel/experience that in Games.
