Your argument (along with Sales2099 and the OP) falls on deaf ears because it is utterly fallacious to suggest that a majority of gamers don't have a capable PC.

Its just as fallacious to suggest the opposite as you are doing.  Because you are also saying they have the willingness to play games on PCs,  which again you can't say they all or even a majority have.    The ease of use of a console will sway gamers to using it over a PC for games.   Plus you have to also take into account what their friends play as well,  people arent going to game on a PC if their friends are all on 360 or PS3.   So PCs dont matter in arguments like this.   

I can, actually. Because it isn't if you have a console do you own a gaming PC,  It's if you own a gaming PC do you own a console because the PC gaming market is the size of the entire console market combined.

You're choosing to ignore facts. Time to face reality and simply admit you're arguing from a minority position.

Your personal preference to game on a PC has nothing to do with PS3 having more games not on 360 or vise versa for a particular year. For the sake of a rivalry, tunnel vision and excluding all others comes with the comparison. In the end, it isn't about what you can play, its about what the console can play.

Your stance is far from universal, and neither is mine, so its better to just go unbiased and just do a 1 vs 1 with no outside factors. What you make of the end list is up to you.

Worst case from your position: Xbox 1 gets more games not on PS4 for holiday 2013. Would you A. defend this outright out of a sense of honour for your camp, or would you B. write it off because you can just play some X1 games on Windows 8 if you so choose to? A 1 vs 1 list is just that, a very closed off comparison. Any otuside factors don't mean anything, except how you choose to interpret the games on each one.
