First, your interests must be fairly limited as far as PC games go as there is zero chance you could get "almost every game" the PC gets on your PS4. Just take a gander through Steam's library, the number of games you can't get on consoles is rather staggering.

Second, the PS4 Neo will do nothing to close the gap with the PC (do consider a new generation of GPUs is just about to hit the market tomorrow), nor will "frequent console upgrades" really alter the console library all that much. It's not a safe assumption that console upgrades will happen any more than once per console lifecycle, and that isn't what's separating the two libraries to begin with.

We're still waiting to see if they'll even release proper consoles going forward, after all. The gap between the two libraries, in my experience, is actually growing between the consoles and the PC, not shrinking. The one thing that might actually unite the two is something like the Steam box, and I do wonder with these console upgrades and such if people might not begin simply looking at those... they already have an assortment of upgrades available, after all, as well as access to PC games.

I dont see any game i missing on my PS4 the PC has, but theres quite a lot of high quality exclusives the PS4 has the PC lacks. Sure the PC has its mobas and free to play games but these dont interest me, even if they would i only would havet he time, money and dedication to play one of them. Sorry but to say some obscure indie game or free to play game is on the same quality like Bloodborne or U4 is redicolous.

Steam has a lot of legacy games from previous generations but do you what there is in the console world? PS1, 2 and 3. You can play all these games as well on your older console.

And no i dont see how the steam library gets bigger and bigger over PSN, PC gamers used to bragg about all these indies. Now we do get them too and even for free on PS+, and more and more free to play games at least the popular ones. Same way with 7th games, we get more and more remasters and older games on PS4. Along every new release plus exclusives from japanese devoloper or from Sony. No the difference becomes smaller and samller

Yeah the Neo is strong enough to play games in 60fps. Can you built a stronger pc? sure you can but the Neo is hitting the average target of PC gamers wallets, lets be honest.

Why should Sony reset the next gen? they arent even sure there will be a PS5. From now on the PS4 library will get bigger and bigger

You have to include the indie games to really acknowledge the strength of the PC.

Mount & Blade, Expeditions: Conquistador, Pillars of Eternity, Grim Dawn, Legend of Grimrock, Kingdom, Cities: Skyline, Europa Universalis, Stellaris, SOMA, Banished, just to make a few I like a lot.

There's just so many sophisticated, deep, quality games on PC made with smaller budgets.

And then there's the big ones like XCOM, Total War and Heroes of Might & Magic.
