And like I stated, my buying purchases are meticulously calculated for my tastes. The day I see more JRPGs come to any other platform at the pace they come to playstation will be a day indeed. PC offers likely the most games by a country mile, but statistically it is mostly filled to the absolute brim with indie level shovelware the likes of which only the Wii has ever experienced. Quantity over Quality. The games that are of extreme quality on PC usually get ported to console....most of which I am still not that interested in. Consoles are the big leagues of gaming, PC is minor and honestly the most cost inefficient of the options.

PC isn't all shovelware crap though...

It's like saying Sony consoles are filled with shovelware crap when you add all the games on all Sony systems all at once.

There are also quality games to be found on PC, just as much as you can on a console, even genres that aren't fully supported by consoles as well. Some games do egt proted to consoles, but not every single one of them.

Also, no, PC isn't "minor" in gaming, not by a long shot. Also "cost inefficient" is entirely subjective, especially when you throw in the costs of paying to play online with those consoles and the extra price tag for physical/digital games on them. 

Console games on average outperform their PC counterparts by like a lot.

All systems have shovel ware but  by and by the PC would have the most of it.  And like you stated, the existence of crap games doesn't mean there are not ones of real quality. I'm just saying usually the ones of real quality get ported to console, Divinity II comes to mind. 

When I say inefficient I am speaking of the fact that for price, a Console is cheaper than what you can build yourself(at official retail pricing because sales are subjective) at the same power level. Which is pretty much why they exist. When a console is purchased you know exactly what will and won't work on it. This is unfortunately not true for PC because you can have an extremely powerful and costly rig that won't run a particular game due to some weird way they coded it. It is all very loose and open. I don't idealize spending a lot of time tweaking and optimizing my rig to get a game to work.

Genre of games is important. A lot of what pads the PC libraries is Indie Side Scrollers(there are so many I never want to play another one in my life), RTS , and MMOs. Three genres I am not particularly a fan of. 

My top genres would be...

1. Jrpg

2.Western Rpg (3rd Person view REQUIRED)

3. Narrative Driven Action

4. Passive Story Manipulation/Detective Games

5. 3D Platformers

The First of which until recently was exclusive to consoles. All the biggest IPs of note for these genres are Console native and sometimes exclusive.
