The bolded is blatently false. PC has some great strategy titles for sure, but Switch and/or PS4 blow it out of the water in terms of games library. This gen there's only 8 PC exclusives I'm really interested in, and that's if you count Civ 6 (coming to Switch), Cities Skylines (also coming to Switch), and Warhammer Total War (Obsolete now that Total War II is out.)

Then you have to deal with the fact that PC is infested with DRM. Steam, Uplay, Windows Store, and Origin are all DRM. Windows is nagware, as well as spyware. 

Finally, a $1000 PC will absolutely not get you 4K, unless you are buying shoddy parts, or cutting massive corners. 

He's talking about Xbox 1 X, not PC.

Also the talk of exclusives are subjective in terms of their quality. PC has exclusives of it';s own that aren't on console and it isn't just 8 either, Pem can tell you that.

Consoles are also their own form of DRM when you look at the big picture, and millions of people are fine using Steam, Uplay, Origin, Epic and Battle.net. THe spyware part is absolutely bogus though. Claiming that those clients are infested with spyware is insane.

My PC is just over 1k by itself and has been doing fine for itself so far at 1440p max settings and going well above 60fps. 4k is not the rule. Also PC isn't completely full of shoddy ports either. 

Pem and I have had that argument before. He wants to count every single PC game made since 1980, and then try to stack it up against a single console generation's library. That's like an XB1 fanboy trying to argue that since XB1 is backwards compatible you have to count every XBO, 360, and XB1 game that isn't playable on PS4, when comparing libraries of the XB1 and PS4. 

Consoles have DRM, but there is still an option to have a physical DRM free version with almost all console games. PC lacks that option for most of its library. I was talking about Windows being spyware, not Steam/Uplay/Origin. And Windows is definitely spyware/nagware. 

Yeah I can see 1440p from a 1K build. But 4k? Not happening.
