PCs are NOT expensive. Especially not when every single game is 33% chepaer than on consoles.
Consoles with their game prices and their fees only delay the costs.
There is no reason for a PC to boot into windows to play games either. The way games/programms are made should be changed. Why do I need to install a game on PC? If its e.g 5GB and fits onto a DVD?
Why are PC games still on DVDs? and not blurays?
Why do I have to execute an .exe file? etc etc
I mean Windows 10 can use Android apps iOS apps and Windows programs. Why not make it compatible with a new standard? Or why not use some kind of universal mini OS that replaces/accompanies the bios that can also play simply everything without the need for Windows or Linux or MacOS etc.
Make a universal machine that "replaces" the conventional PC that can play games without the need to boot into windows. Without the need to have 4 machines that can play Nintendo Sony Microsoft PC exclusives. This is the most stupid thing any entertainment medium has.
Its like having a Sony Bluray player that just plays Sony Pictures movies. And a Universal Bluray player and a Warner Bros bluray player etc etc. How dumb would that be? Do a unified standartized system and profit of the Games by making good games. You cant tell me that you are HAPPY that you have to spend $1300 or something on 4 machines. If all of them would be PCs you can buy the Manufacturer specific devices anyway if you want to be a collector etc but dont force everyone to deal with that nonsense.
I mean do you want to buy a Sony MP3 player to listen to Sony music songs only? Or how about a Samsung camera that only works with Samsung SD cards and those Samsung SD cards only work with Samsung TVs/BlurayPlayers and Laptops?.
The Vita + Vita memory card thing was dumb enough....
What is the best thing to happen to phones in a long time? Android why? Because it freed the industry from nonsense like Bada or Symbian etc. (it has its problems yes but it made the whole experience so much better) The people that write the apps reach a wider audience. I had no skype on my Symbian phone back then. Android has it. I have no apps on my Bada OS Samsung phone I do have that on Android.
Also I said in an ideal world there would be no console whatsoever. I just said the next best thing (logically) would be a PC Nintendo Smartphone one because Nintendo does offer different hardware and makes games suit their hardware. The other ones usually do the same thing over and over basically like a PC albeit within their little closed universe.
We could also just have a Sony drive and a microsoft drive and a nintendo drive that play the games. And all of the companies sell their own controllers yes. Would still be better than to have 4 devices with 4 psu's with 4 motherboards with 4 wifi/bluetooth chips with 4 cases all occupying some room needing seperate HDMI cables etc. Mainstreamers want everything to be super streamlined and buy something like a logitech harmony1 universal remote control because all of the remotes are annoying yet they accept this nonsense.
And Nintendo makes the hardware and profits and exists solely because of their own output. Then Sony and Microsoft can ALSO exist solely because people buy their games. There is NO NEED to get royalties from Ubisoft selling games on a Sony system this just makes the product needlessly more expensiv than its PC counterpart. Ubisoft themselves also have no console and therefore also survive on their games. You make it look more complicated that it actually is.

Just the bolded part shows that you don't understand the basics of programming to sugest something like that. Windows and other OSs do exist for a reason. Do some research and you will understand the nonsense you are saying. You even go as far as comparing Blu-rays and binary compatibility. Please, stop. It's embarassing.
Despite that, you are just proposing things that already exist. A mini-OS that you boot and just play games on it? That's a damn console. Oh, a more complex OS? That's a PC. Wait, you want a console but with several manufacurers? That's 3DO and Steam Machines.
Just being able to chose parts and build a PC doesn't remotely qualify you to understand how do you develop for it. I'm sorry, but you aren't qualified from a technical standpoint to actually discuss what you are trying to discuss.
And the last bolded part is laughable. Sony/MS gets a cut from the full game price. But Valve also does it with Steam. Do you think that anyone will create a distribution channel and do it for free?
