The best PC exclusives are games console-only gamers would never care about anyway, such as Civilization V or VI, Cities Skylines, Total War franchise, Anno franchise, Europa Universalis franchise etc.

No need to try to convince console-only gamers of PC games on this forum, they'll never care and will always downplay the system. This is VGC after all, one of the worst communities for PC games.

As a console and handheld only gamer I have to fully disagree with this. I absolutly want all of those games on console. Consoles support mouse and keyboard, and those games would be amazing on my 75" TV. 

For me Xbox and PlayStation are much more appealing, and now with Switch Nintendo is looking very appealing as well. I just prefer the optimized experience over what feels like a mess on PC.

It's not so amazing to play them on the couch though, I've done it with a projector and 92" screen. Sounds big, yet you pretty much have the same field of view as sitting behind a desk with a pc monitor. The advantage of a desk, besides a place for kb+m, is that you can always lean in to take a closer look, not so effective when you have to move a whole lot further to get a closer look at that 75" screen. I found myself going back to my desk as the big screen didn't add anything to those kind of games, it merely made it less convenient to play.

Ofcourse nothings stops you from playing a console behind a desk, but I guess the market for that is pretty small. Plus it wouldn't be an optimized for couch+tv experience anymore.
