things are not neccessary to your daily life are luxury.
I believe nowadays, you wont be able to work and live without PC and cellphone.
But without consoles, you will be pretty fine, maybe a gamer would be bored, but he can always find other things to do.

So much misinformation in such a short sentence!
trophies: they are everywhere on PC and mobile... pick your poison: Steam achievements, EA Origin achievements, uPlay achievements, GOG Galaxy achievements, iOS Game Center, Google Play achievements, Amazon Game Circle...
exclusives: both PC and mobile games have plenty exclusives
simplicity/convenience: mobile is even more convenient than consoles or handhelds; PCs are getting more and more convenient with auto-updates (Windows, direct X, graphic drivers...), auto-game-patches (Steam, Origin, GOG Galaxy, Battlenet,...), auto-settings (Nvidia Experience), auto-cloud-saves (Steam), automatic video recording (ShadowPlay) and easy sharing, other convenient game client features like friend lists, text chats, voice chats, streaming options, game specific discussion forums and guides...
ownership: digital games on consoles and handhelds have no advantages compared to digital games on PC or mobile... all are account-bound licences (except most digital games bought on GOG and many in the Humble Store, Kickstarter versions and many others).
With physical games (retail), you own the box, the disc/module, the handbook (if there is one included) and a licence of that game (the same licence as buying digital), you don't own the game itself! The only advantage of these retail licences on consoles and handhelds: they don't get bound to your account (but preorder-DLCs, season passes and other DLCs will), so you can resell them; most AAA-games on PC can't be resold after activation, but thousands of smaller/older PC titles don't have to be activated and can be resold: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Video-Games-/139973/i.html?Platform=PC&_dcat=139973&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=2750&_trksid=p2045573.m1684
I don't know what the point of this is. Spending $400+ for entertainment on anything is a luxury.

I was going to add more to the comment. But I felt that since someone already posted the definition earlier in the thread that you wouldn't be paying attention.

I dont know, man. I doubt everyone would read through all replies before making one. I was just replying to this title thread.

Well, then I would assume you would do a miniscule amount of research before commenting on a thread. You are dead to me Arthurchan. DEAD TO ME

Couldn't have said it better myself.
