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.

By sheer numbers alone?, gods no. PC and mobile outright dwarf console gaming. PErforming wise, I'm not sure what specific set of data you're likely to look at, but PC gaming makes a lot of money, as again does mobile gaming.

PC has it's own deal of it because it's not gone through gens like consoles always have. When you look at consoles combined with all their libraries, you start to see a large amount of shovelware piling up. It's only because it's broken down by gens does it appear small. If you're also going to combine console userbase numbers at this point, you may as well do the same for games and the shovelware that comes with them.

Yes, but the quality games still exist on PC. Having a console game ported to PC or a PC game ported to console does not stop that game from being good on it's respective platform. Divinity is still a good PC game to this day.

Price is subjective, as you buy what you want when building a PC, thee is no objective price point to choose from, but there is with a console that you buy brand new. You're also forgetting paying for online, the higher price range for brand new games both physical and digital on consoles. Heck, you have to pay for online just to access being able to get that discount. 

You can also look at a PC specs to get an idea of what will and what won't run with it as well. It's not rocket science or mystic arts you know. We're not living in the 90's anymore. We also have plenty of benchmark data and hardware/gaming reviews to go by as well.

Actually, those that run bad are due to it being a bad port, and yes, consoles can get those as well. If my beastly rig cannot run the game that a console can, then it's mostly down to the devs and not the hardware itself. Not sure why you talk of game code being "very loose and open", I don't think you know how coding actually works, let alone PC's for that matter.

Yeah, I've seen this same song and dance before. You name genres you hate and loathe and stamp them to PC, while ignoring everything else. I've seen many a eprson try to claim that PC games are only MMO's, RTS and Mobas, but they aren't.

PC has those genres btw, and plenty of third person games. Also limiting yourself to just 3rd person RPG's is very narrow minded btw.

PC also has plenty of detective based games, just in case you didn't already know.

I just think you dislike PC and that's fine to have such an opinion as I think consoles are like that in my view, but PC is definitely not some little pathetic unsupported minority like you claim it to be, and others here can attest to that like Pemalite.
