Some "console fans" just accepted that PC is the superior gaming platform.

Not really.. video game consoles are designed to play video games as their primary function. I'm not sure where you're coming from when it comes to this magic designation of what is and isn't a PC. A desktop computer is a personal computer just as much as a notebook computer or a tablet computer is a personal computer. Its a computer designed for personal use and all perform the same types of tasks and run the same kind of applications, there's not really any way to split them all up as something different just because of their form factor.

We're not 2 generations ago anymore. People use consoles for more than just playing games. I use it to stream movies and play blu-rays. Others use it for music or browse the net.

Also, your definition of personal computer is flawed. An iPad is considered a personal computer but you cannot install the same kind of applications on it.

That's why I said "same kind", not "same". There are a wide variety of word processors, spreadsheet apps, video editing apps, music production apps, painting/illustration apps, programming apps available on the iPad, many of which have a direct equivalent on Mac OS or Windows.
