A phone and PC allow you to do a lot more then just game so people can justify the cost. On top of that gaming on the PC you can subtract the cost of paying to play online and games are much cheaper. Hell if you really wanted to you could not pay for any games and pirate almost everything. I don't suggest doing that but it is a possibility.

yeah but Handhelds and consoles are giving you way more quality with trophys, exclusives and simplecity and ownership 

Trophies aren't a necessity for enjoyment and exclusives are just an additional bonus when there are hundreds of multiplat games, many of which are more ambitious and fun than the vast majority of exclusives. Simplicity is the only thing which consoles have over PC, or rather had, since current-gen consoles feel more PC-like in this department.

And then factor in all those Steam deals and cheaper and better looking and performing PC version of games and its easy to see why many people choose PC gaming.
