A 400$ rig outshines PS4 and One and by the time Scorpio and Neo come out a rig with the same price will outshine them again. Consoles are dead.

But with $400 you can get a new console and 60+ games,

You do realise PC offers games for free? If you count Shareware/Freeware/Mods... You are set for a stupidly long time.

Can play all games released in the last three decades on one platform

-i can do the same just buy a PS2, PS3 and 4 thats 4 generations of 20 years in gaming

That's not a singular platform.

Supports mods

- like cheats

Modding isn't cheating.

Can play a game at the highest settings possible

- PS4 Neo and Scoprio will offer the same 

No they won't. You still will not be able to play in 4k, 5k, 7680x1440, 7680x1600, 5760x1080, 11,520x1920, 120fps, 144fps and more.

Can emulate older consoles

- How about you try to emulate Windows 95 games?

You don't need to emulate Windows 95 games. With Virtualization you can run Windows 95 like an app on your desktop and run the games from there.

Simulation and RTS games that consoles lack

-RTS games are dead

You should let Microsoft know that with Halo Wars 2. And Blizzard with StarCraft.

Accessories are cheaper

- nope, an Xbox One controller will cost the same

Not the same as a keyboard and mouse. I can buy a keyboard and mouse from Kmart for $10 AUD. For an Xbox Controller you are looking at $90 AUD from EB Games.
Gamepads on PC start from $30 Aud at PC Case Gear too.

Now for being on topic. PC Gaming is the best it has ever been. There are more games, there are more users, it's easier to get into, it's cheaper than it has ever been.

I do confess I prefer the Late 90's early 2000's as developers were willing to take more risks and blend genre's together which is what we got with Dungeon Keeper, Sacrifice, Black and White, Battlezone 2, Evolva etc'.

And please people. Just because someone is a PC gamer, doesn't mean they don't own a console or are not willing to game on a console, you can actually own both. And game on Both. They don't have to replace each other, they can compliment each other.
