That is a good point and an opinion I used to also espouse, however I find different styles of games just work better on different platforms. I would never play something like Stellaris on a console, but equally I have little interest in playing Diablo on my PC. It's also considerably cheaper to buy a new console every 6-8 years than build a new gaming PC every 2-3.
No company sells tens of millions of consoles to hardcore gamers. The casual gamer who plays a few hours a week is where the market is, and I think Microsoft has correctly identified that they can beat Sony there. It's entirely possible I'm wrong, but complacency has taken the kings of consoles down before, and Sony has been looking fat and sassy lately.
