Sad, but absolutely true.
What I mean is, from an audio-visual standpoint, the line is a lot closer than what it used to be 10 years ago. Back then you would buy a Dreamcast and the PC was already at the same level or better, and 6 months later it completely destroyed it. That you can actually develop a game like RDR and still look incredibly good on a 6 year old console is actually pretty good. That was unheard of in the past.
And I hear you about the games. I was a huge fan of adventure games (monkey island, etc) and the genre basically doesn't fit with consoles and pretty much died on PC's too. And if not for Bethesda and BioWare being able to tweak their RPG's to make them more console friendly, thats another genre that would have been gone by now.
Ultimately you have to follow the money, and Consoles is where's it's at right now. There will be always niches that will stick on PC's (Flight Simulator anyone?), but overall, a bunch of stuff already migrated to consoles and for the reasons already stated, I don't see them coming back anytime soon.
Sad, but absolutely true.
It might not matter. Cloud-based gaming could take over soon, anyway.
