Why bother buying consoles next gen?

I wouldn't make a bold claim like that, if you're willing to understand that the PC userbase greatly outnumbers the console one, even in terms of "casual" users, and even then, the mobile market, which is catching up in terms of technological prowess, massively outnumbers console casuals as well. You'd understand that your market is the actual minority one. 

Then why do most core game sales come from console purchases?

 

You are trying to compare apples to oranges.

Of that year, not for the rest of time:

Also, mobile made even more, but if we're again limiting this to the sole aspect of just one gaming side of games (like the AAA argument) to benefit one side, then yes it becomes obvious, but why limit it to just one side?.

It's silly to say apples to oranges when both are within the same market and sell the same games.
