While there will always be more power available on pc, price to performance is unmatched at the begining of a new gen. this gen it seems the jump will be a bit bigger that last gen compared to whats available on current pc's. While for people like you who can spend $5k on a pc wont be affected and already have specs twice as good as the consoles will bring, thats not the majority. im sure the majority of pc gamers looking for an upgrade are thinking upgrade just my gpu wich will cost more than the entire console and at most will just match it asuming everything else is up to par, or buy a console for cheaper and be future proof for 2-3 years. 

Whether I'm the majority or not is irrelevant to the statement "I'm sure Pc will catch up quickly when AMD and Nvidia release their new gpu's". Also, price-to-performance will always favor the consoles, as people who build gaming PCs are obviously going for the superior experience and are much less cost sensitive. 

I meant catching up in the sense that the average pc gamers has equal or better specs than what's in these new consoles. With the ps4/Xone that happened pretty quickly as common pc's already had a better cpu than the Jaguar. People who were still using older gpu's could just get a GTX660 for around $100 or buy the GTX760 which launched for $199. The same thing will happen next gen, but I do think Sony and MS did a much better job with the price-to-performance this time around. I mean the "mainstream" RTX 2060 Super is still between $400 and $500 where I live, let alone a RTX2080.
