The PC on the other hand doesnt get any exclusives anymore its a fact, at least when we talk about AAA games and not free to play or indie games. And even the ps4 gets indie exclusives or free to play exclusives like Deep Down by the way.

In the 7th generation i played on the PC because of exclusives like Crysis and Starcraft 2 who are true AAA exclsuives for the platform only possible on the more powerfull hardware. But this generation there is no point owning a pc for me if youre interrested in playing a lot of different games. Because the pc has the least amount of AAA games. I am massivley disspointed about blizzard, one of my favorite companies in what direction they are going. Instead making a warcraft 4 they rather make free to play games like hearthstone or overwatch, or what ever that shooter was called..... Blizzard is pretty much dead for me and this was a huge reason why i am switching now back to consoles. Because all the pc games who are avaible now are also on console, we even get those indie and free to play stuff. RTS games are also dead now and get replaced with DOTA games who i couldnt care less about.

So i dont understand why people advice switching to PC for the console gamers if the PC gets no exclusives whats so ever but the couple AAAs who are left. Yes they run better but the fact is still you get a lot less AAA games. And let me be clear, if i would count this generation as a whole and count the PC into it then yes it would be the worst for me, but when it comes to consoles only, then yes they are certaintly better than last gen for me. At least with consoles in this generation i can look up to and be excited about the exclusives they may can get. What can i be excited for from Blizzard these days, or Valve?

That's not true. Sid Meier's Starships, Age of Wonders III, Star Citizen, Pillars of Eternity, the whole Total War series just to name a few tiles exclusive to PC which ain't exactly Indie Titles. Just because they aren't made from EA/Ubisoft/Activision doesn't mean they are Indies (I know, Star Citizen and Pillars of Eternity technically are Indies, but their budget, execution and graphics goes well above your typical Indie title and even above some AAA productions).

That said, I do also feel that this generation is better than the last one, for which I really couldn't care less exept for the Wii. PS360 where for me just massively underpowered PC with unappealing exclusives. PS4/Xbox ONE are a quite bit more appealing with their exclusives. Too bad consoles will stay as underpowered PCs as they just can't keep up with the brute force of a PC and it's largely bigger TDP allowances (for camparision: a whole consoles can come up to 160-180W nowadays, which is less than just your typical high-end graphics card on a PC)
