I think perhaps you spend too much time in your console gaming "bubble" that you don't quite see the big picture. And I also think there is some confirmation bias occurring. It seems like the point you are trying to make is something that you want to be true, regardless of whether it is or not. Do you agree with that?
In other words, you are a console gamer. You do not like the idea of there existing a gaming platform with better visuals. After all, when a new AAA game comes out on PS4, part of the enjoyment comes in feeling as if you are experiencing visual fidelity that cannot be achieved elsewhere. I am being hyperbolic to try and get my point across.
Console gamers are very much over-represented here on VGChartz, so in your "bubble" you remain.
I am a very skeptical person, but I'm also very open-minded and understanding, and I like to try and understand the mindset of others whose ideas are contrary to my own. This is because at times I question my own opinions, as I have found myself in the same predicament you are in. It's good to be open to accepting new truths.
In your case, you seem to have these beliefs about PC gaming that I see to be false. When a game is released on PC and console, the PC version will usually be capable of better visuals. It makes sense, though, right? With PC, you have options, and a whole range of GPUs performing differently, so there exists settings that allow things like resolution, anti-aliasing, and shadows to be scaled to the hardware. Consoles are much cheaper than PCs, so does this make sense?
You also made mention of needing to upgrade to an 8 core CPU, which I found odd, as the CPU is almost never the bottleneck when it comes to playing games. I have an i5 6600k, and I would imagine it being fine for five or ten more years, although I tend to upgrade much more often than that.
But why is it important to you that console gaming be better?
