Yeah I would. PC gaming requires too much of an investment in time and I regard it as an unhealthy psychological addiction (my little brother is glued to the screen more often than not and.... I'll say no more about that).

Mobile gaming is just generally boring. Console gaming is accessible for me personally because I can pick up a quick match of CoD or spend a few hours on the weekend playing through campaign mode on some of the newer games, and then there's netflix to fall back on or Spotify if I'm cleaning the house. It's really convenient for the kind of media functions I desire.

The first part i dont understand how thats anything to do with PC in general since it seems more like a Gaming issue then a PC issue.

 -That has everything to do with it being on PC though.  PC has MMORPGs, MOBAs, RTS games, etc.  All games that are designed to eat away at your time, with certain instances where matches can last almost a full day.  There's also many examples of games on PC that charge monthly subscriptions. This is not possible on console.  All online access is channeled through one singular subscription, so my investment does not bind me toward one singular game.  With all that being said, I think that these are psychologically addictive practices. I mean, quite a few PC gamers refer to themselves as the master race. That should tell you all you need to know right there lol. 

And the 2nd part, like i said what if other manafactures made console like PC's such as the Steambox that could still play all them games plus PC games and offered the full simple consoles experince, Wouldnt that be just the same thing??.

-Is the steambox really considered a PC though? It's running it's own Operating System.  It can't do all PC like things, it's centered around games. I mean, if there was a Steam console (or steam PC if you want to be picky about it) that could play Spotify, play Netflix, was hooked up to my TV and had all PC games in addition to Sony and Nintendo games.... 

Well that question is redundant.  Who WOULDN'T want to buy in? So I chose to respond to your title as opposed to your OP.
