I really don't want to get into this discussion very much, seems like a mess. This particular line caught my interest, though.

Many indie games are exclusive to PC so your point is invalid, and indie games are usually the ones that offer completely new experiences. PC gaming offers a lot more variety by default because it's an open platform. Consoles have the advantage only in high-profile, high-budget games, and those are the ones that usually offer the least innovation and new experiences. Also, I see you have never tried a mod, because while mods can offer smaller changes like you described, they can also change the experience completely. Oblivion is an example I have lots of experience with, and the game was made a lot better by mods, and it was made better by making it different in some key areas.

If you mean exclusives that are full of "Press A to win". Then no, that's not my idea of fun.
However, the PC does have big AAA exclusives, but a quick google can tell you that easily enough.

Unlike the consoles however, the PC is under going a kind-of "game revolution".
For years Publishers like EA, Activision, Ubisoft neglected the PC. - Valve and Blizzard continued to do really well as PC-centric developers and sell 10 million+ copies of games.
However if you hadn't noticed over the past year or so this "thing" called Kickstarter arrived and now PC gamers are voting for games with their wallets, games like Star Citizen and Planetary Annihilation have raked in the Millions for development budgets, greedy publishers get kicked out of the way, gamers get great games.
No more generic-stuff shoved down our necks.

As for upgrading every year? If you are gaming at only 1080P, then no. You don't have to upgrade every year or even every two years.
People still use Radeon 5870's which are what, 3-4 years old? Just fine.
People still use Core 2 Quads, overclock them a little and even after 6-7 years are capable of playing the latest games.

The point is not how many people can afford a 4k TV today, but how many can afford a 4k TV tomorrow? Technology does get cheaper over time, who knows how cheap they will be in a couple of years!
It's a chicken and egg scenario, if no one builds it, no one will support it, someone has to make the first move and if the consoles were a little more forward thinking and made the first move, then all would have been fine in the world.

Also, 4k is just a resolution, developers don't design games with my resolution (7680x1440) in mind, yet I can run games at that level, didn't take any development time away did it?

What is this, I don't even.

Some games sell better on PC than they do on consoles, it's the developers/publishers fault, not the platform.
There is a reason why League of Legends and Dota are some of the worlds most played games, the developers knew what gamers wanted.

But if you want to get into sales...
Diablo 3, sold what 15 million copies?
Half Life 2 sold about 12-15 million copies.
Minecraft is 11 million copies.
The Sims franchise has sold about 100 million copies.
Dota and League of Legends has 10's of millions of players.
World of WarCraft is over 9,000.

So I reiterate, it's not the platforms fault or even the gamers, people are obviously willing to part with their cash.

Always fix something? Have you used a PC? I haven't formatted my PC in years, we aren't in the days of Windows 9x where ejecting a CD/DVD that is being accessed will crash the entire system.
Heck, I took my SSD out of my old AMD system with Windows on it and dropped it into my main Intel system when I built it, trouble free, no reformat or reinstall of windows required for me personally.

I never disputed the close-to-the-metal approach being better, I just said it's not wise to do it on the PC for blatantly obvious reasons.

Alright, go Install Direct X on the PS4, without modding it or Installing Windows. Right, you won't ever be able to, closed environment that's incredibly restricted.
I certainly can't grab a PS4 off the shelf and start making a game that's for sure.

Even ones that require certain Windows libraries? ;) The PS4 doesn't run Windows remember.

Bonaire is GCN 1.1.
Do you even know what the ACE's do?
PC's power management is superior, why? Because I can alter it personally.

Ugh. Depending on usage, yes Fermi is superior to Kepler for compute scenarios because of FP64, we are talking Desktop chips here, Tesla is Server.

Sorry I did not mean to offend you or anything, i just wanted you to support developers by buying games for consoles at full price only if you like that game, if you/many of us don't support the developers then they won't risk in creating games so we won't get new experiences. Its upto you and i just recommended so you don't have to listen to me if it doesn't make sense.

"If what you say is true, then why do third parties still continue to support PC gaming. If PC gaming is killing their sales, I wonder why they keep releasing titles on PC."

Third party Developers makes games for PC because its been sponsored by AMD and Nvidia mostly for selling their GPU's. Can't you see the logo AMD Gaming evovled and Nvidia its meant to played in AAA games? 

Also PC never brought the gaming to more people and its the consoles which brought more innovation and access to gaming to more people in an affordable price.

I was talking about AAA titles mostly, however as you're saying indie now almost every indie title is coming to PS4 because of new rules from Sony where they can sell and earn more than PC because Consoles have many users than PC.

But, indie titles can't tell the story and make us involved more than AAA titles like God of War, Last of US, Beyond two souls, Knack etc., and also most of us have limited time for playing games due to life and job so having few AAA titles is better than Hundreds of Indie games.

Regarding mods and PC, i think this is pointless to consier since it cannot be experienced by most of the people because they can't afford to buy the systems which cost atleat 500-800$ and needs regular upgrades to the hardware to play future games(due to poor optimization) and installation of new drivers to get it working etc., howerver still we have bugs/crashes more than Consoles in PC.

I'm talking about a product which can reach wider audience(consoles are affordable for this) not narrower audience(PC can do this).

I work with PC remember? I'm a developer... and yes you have a lot of trouble with PC... my mon and brother are casual users and they had everytime... it is not stable.

You don't need to install DirectX on PS4... there are wrappers for that... you develop a DirectX game and it will run on PS4... of course at the cost of some overhead.

But at the end you don't need to change your DirectX game to run on PS4... you get you DirectX game and just compile using the wrapper plugin to PS4 ... every single DirectX instruction is converted by the wrapper to PS4 instruction.

And yes... you need the PS4 DevKit to run the games in PS4 not to develop them.... you can develop for PC/Windows and run on PS4 DevKit after.

What specific libraries? The DirectX (using wrapper plugin) and OpenGL (native) ones are full supported by PS4 DevKit...

It's not... the latest AMD ISA document didn't say that... AMD didn't give a archicteture name for Bonaire... reviews site are calling it GCN 1.1.

Yeap... in a easy way ACEs are schedules units for computer tanks... PS4 can schedule 4x more computer tasks than Bonaire... in fact the PS4 can do the same number than what is found into AMD GCN 2.0 ISA document... that means more efficiency in the execution of compute code when you don't need to wait others tasks finish to run more code (if you have GPU units free of course)... the same applies to Queue Pipelines (PS4 have 8 too compared with 2 of Bonaire).

PC power management is more flexible not superior... the PS4 one is better for what is designed... so the power consumption is better managed.

We are talking about architecture... what I can do if nVidia limits by driver (software... they limit the clock for FP64) the FP64 performance of GeForce Titan/780 compared to Teslas... they uses the same GK110... you can change that (mod) so the FP64 clock run like Tesla (the same than core clock).

There will never be even nearly as many indie games on consoles, it's just impossible as long as consoles have any kind of an approval process. Indie games flourish on PC because it's so easy to release them on PC, and it will ever be equally easy to release them on consoles. You're somewhat right about stories though, albeit even that's not completely true. There's no reason why indie titles couldn't get you involved, often they just choose to focus on the core value of gaming, which is gameplay. Besides, more and more often these days these so-called AAA titles imitate either movies, TV series, or books so much that I'm better off watch movies or TV series or reading books than I'm playing games if I want a story that gets me involved. But anyway, there's lots of indie games that'll tell you a story and make you involved, I'm sure.

Also, who's saying instead of playing a few AAA titles has to be replaced my hundred of indie games? You could just, you know, play a few indie games. And then there's the thing that most AAA titles also come to PC, so for the most part, you won't miss much if you play on PC only.

It's kind of funny that originally you spoke about different gameplay experiences, then when I show you there's lots more gameplay variety on PC, you start talking about stories and getting involved and how much little most people have on their hands. The funny thing is, most console games play very much the same in the sense that if you know how to play one, you almost instantly know how to play another. Not only that, you'll also be pretty good in no time because the games have so similar rulesets.

my current build is some years old and i never had to fix anything. 

You have lucky because most of users needs... the supports forums, chats and phone lines are always occuped with users... even for games you need to install new drivers to fix things and sometimes these drives create new issues.

You install a software that makes your windows get errors... or your software didn't works with your windows... your hardware support didn't have the best driver or always lakcs something.

Everything is relative... the PC have a lot of issues... is far far far away from stable.

How much did your current set-up cost?

no i'm not lucky, the other guys just do something wrong...or they have complicated settings with multiple monitors and bla...

i'm obviously not talking about driver updates you should do from time to time but that's not really a problem even with my slow interent.
