That's obviously the best solution. PC can already emulate GC/Wii/PS2 perfectly with just a few minor issues. Though there are people that just don't like gaming on PC (even with a controller) for some reason, and would rather have one console to rule them all.
And no, a PC can't play PS4 games, and won't be able to do it for at least 10 more years, and that's being extremely optmistic. PS360 just took the first steps, a full 8-9 years after their releases. Hell, the original Xbox doesn't have a working emulator yet, and emulating Saturn/N64 is still tricky to this day (Rogue Squadron is unplayable on a regular emulator, for example. You need a pretty powerful PC to run it).

Damn, what makes those consoles so damn hard to hack/emulate?

It depends. Xbox was hard to "emulate" because you had to put a lot of effort to build a complete API wrapper translating Xbox commands to PC pendants. The architecture was quite similar that you didn't need a powerful PC to emulate, though.
Saturn emulation is very good nowadays, SSF is one of the best emulators ever made. N64 offered custom hardware hacks (so to say) but either way, no emulation will ever be perfect.
