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.

I am part of that market. Have the PS4 Pro hooked to the 75" in the living room, the 1200 series is hooked up to a 43" in the bed room, and the OG model is hooked up to a 32" monitor in the office. Then again, I am one of the very few that doesn't own a PC, and uses PS4 for streaming, banking, gaming, trading, video editing, ect.
