Does higher resolution and framerate matter with PC gaming if there will be emulators for consoles?

technically, if you have that souped up PC today, then u won't need to have a console today unless playing console exclusives. And you can spend your money on the PC games today and play them at the higher resolution and frame rate than what they would run at on current consoles.

Its not like PCs can only run emulators.

 

Will these PC games run in 10 years or being avaible on servers? i much rather have my games on the disc

 

PC titles will be available long after your physical media has withered and stopped functioning. I can play games released the year I was born (1984) or even older on PC, all digital. Most of my games on GOG are around two decades old or thereabouts.
This is really a non-argument.

Edit; to the above, you don't need one PC for every version of Windows (duh), nor do you need every version of Windows (duh). This is just another non-argument. Where do you get these ideas anyway?
My modern rig runs games that played on Win 3.1 and even DOS, no problem at all.

I've been playing Red Alert 2 on Windows 7 with a 1920x1080 monitor pretty fine without any issues and I just bought a few oldies on GoG like Earth 2160, KKND Krossfire, Ultima series and even the old DOOM/Quake games and I didn't have to do loads of fiddling about at all, hell GoG does a good job at making older games work with modern OS's and even then they aren't the only ones.
