While this is all true, I think that consoles are far more appealing for their ease of use, not their graphics. With the new batch of consoles people are going to get updated graphics with the same ease of use that they are used to. You're average Joe isn't going to want to check to see if his PC can handle the game, or if his drivers are updated, etc.

Example:
I installed Battlefield 3 last night. I went to play an online match, which involved me pressing the play button in Origin, which took me to a webpage that let me pick a server, which then launched the game client. But I kept getting kicked because PunkBuster (3rd party software that is integrated into the game) was not up to date, so I had to leave the game, go the the PunkBuster website and download the installer so that I could patch it up. Then I finally got to play a match.

EDIT: I also had to make sure my graphics card was up to date before playing (it wasn't)

On the PS4/X1 its going to go:
Put disc in system, press start button, start playing match.


more like a day one update lol. Seriously the amount of patches and updates is gotten beyond annoying in some games. Consoles are no longer the old plug and play. Factor in that you can't even replace your own hdd in the xbox one, it makes PC more attractive as I got full control of patches and updates and how I back them up.
