PC is a competitor to PS4 which they ignore. I know many gamers who went from PS3 to PC instead of PS4 and as such it is a very viable alternative to consoles, now moreso than ever before. Them treating it as a non competitor will come to bite them in the ass later down the road.

It is infact likely that PC takes away more PlayStation gamers than Xbox.

I agree with you on the part that PC is growing again because of Steam. One thing to point out. PS4 is a more of a casual platform than PC. Nothing can beat the plug and play for the casual audience without worrying about the specs of the PC. Do you think a casual gamer that doesn't have knowledge of the specs of a computer will purchase a PC? They will be intimidated about the things needed. (note I am primarily talking about the console game experience and not MMOs or MOBA.)  For them it's easier to purchase a PS4 or XBO for games like NBA2k, FIfa, Madden, COD and etc.

Also, as for not seeing a competitor it's not because they are ignoring it but instead co-existing with PC.  I mean PS now is compatible with PC.
PC gaming will be here for a long time and so as Console and they will co-exist.

Plug and play is about the only advantage over PC that consles have over PCs.
