Yes, at the end of the day, if each of the big 3 had all their games on PC then their consoles become pointless to the vast majority of gamers. At the end of the day, it really comes down to exclusives. Now if all games were available on all platforms, I'm not so sure. Price-point/value and convenience would win and that could give the edge to the PS4 if you ask me.

I think the point is that PC = X1+ as all X1 games going forward are a subset of PC games but not all PC games are a subset of X1 games. If what you care about are games, then yea, a PC is better. There are still multimedia and convenience reasons to get an X1 (especially the X1s) but a lot of gamers just don't care about that stuff, and that's why people are reacting the way they are.

While I actually agree with you personally (I would totally skip consoles entirely if I could get all the games on PC), I think most console gamers are closed into their mindsets for whatever reason, and they are most comfortable with the console world.

Even if hypothetically : a $99 PC blew the complete doors off of either PS4/Neo and XB1/Scorpio, along with every game available and free online still, most console gamers just don't want a 'PC'. It's just what it is.

Some people are also just oblivious. I showed someone BF4 running at 4K/60 with everything ultra, and they couldn't tell the difference between their PS3, lol. And no, they weren't kidding, they just have vision problems I guess.

I myself don't care if more console people decide to go PC, if they're happy with whatever they choose, wonderful. I'm just happy that PC is a better place to game than ever imho. I still like a Nintendo and/or Sony product to go along with my PC (now techincally partially an Xbox, lol) setup.
