Of course people are still buying devices. There will always be a small amount of people that buy them. The big reason PS4 and XBO are selling so well is the multimedia features. You say that they could do without it, but I know dozens of people with XBO and PS4, but I only know 3 people that would have them if they didn't have Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, Netflix, and a Blu-ray player. So many people only use the console as a Blu-ray/Media player, and only play a very limited amount of games. Take that away, and you would loose half or more of the market in a snap, because those poeple, would just go to browser based games or mobile, and only play the couple of games they do, when they are at a freinds, or by barrowing a friends system. 

I do not want PC or Smartphones dead, but I do want options in the market. Right now, the market is getting smaller and smaller and I don't like that at all. I do not want mobile to rule over everything. I want a wide range of products from multiple manufactures, that cover High end home, mid range home, low range home, portable home, and mobile.

I absolutly hate the idea of one company making all of the decisions for everyone, having zero option if you don't like they way they are conducting business. This is exactly what we have right now on PC, and basically what we have with Apple and Googles mirror ecosystems in mobile. 

Those 3 people you know that would play without media are the ones who are primarily buying the consoels as is, for the games. They are not the "minority" you claim them to be at all.

Yes, yes you do. They don't serve the primary purposes you want the consoles to serve, they aren't in your eco-system dream of yours and as such, they are "relics" of the past, especially when you pair them up against your "evolution" dream. You want options, but only when they serve to fuel your dream and nothing more, rather than actually loving to use the other options, loving the fact that you can exist with multiple eco-systems, rather than wanting to live in a single one forever.

The market isn't getting smaller and smaller. If you take a look at the big picture, it's getting bigger and bigger. You already have the options of console, handheld, mobile, laptops, tablets and desktops, all of which serve their own functions and provide their own services.

It's not what's currently going on with PC at all. PC is an open platform and as such it has Linux, Apple and Windows.
