I have every console this gen except the wiiU, I also have every console of last gen and a high end gaming PC.
There is no arguing that pc is the best platform out there, it is.
But does it have the best games? No, that's a matter of opinion.
I've had more fun playing games on my consoles this gen than on my PC (If I'm only counting single player games)
But consoles are just holding video games back.
Imagine if they released Zelda games on PC? They'd look better today than they will look 5 years from now on consoles.
Look at games like Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim and Dark Souls, great games but they suffer from huge FPS drops, shitty draw distance and piss poor resolution.
If they'd developed those games primarily for PC (i'm not talking about ports) They could be so much more.
And it isn't not just graphics, it's gameplay too, with the power of a decent gaming PC you can have more enemies on screen at once, better A.I, better physics, custom controls etc. Look at the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft, the worlds are tiny, on the PC they are infinite.
So yeah i've been mostly playing consoles this gen, because all the best games that have come out have come out exclusively on consoles, but there is not a single one of those games that couldn't have been better if it was developed primarily for the PC.
And before someone argues that you can relax with a console and play from the couch, Steam's 'Big Picture Mode' allows you to play on a tv with a controller friendly interface, so there's no excuse any more.
