Oh yeah, console games have the best of the best... Best racing series=Gran Turismo, best RPG series= arguably the FF series... car combat, fighting sports and eventually FPS as well as Strategy (those usb ports in your PS2 isn't all useless).
So if you take into account the fact that FF7 and 8 were PC games, and that 11 is in the works, that leaves One game as your proof? ... besides, as RPGs go, many, many more hardcore RPG fans (I don't count myself among them: console RPGs have a far nicer appeal.) will point to RPGs like Baldurs Gate, Neverwinter Nights and any other characteristically "PC-ish" RPG. Essentially thats all about what the PC is... for the "Hardcore" (a few exceptions fall ever side of the line occasionally of course...). A console will always have its instant ready to go appeal, but just because the PC doesn't have that, why would it not appeal to people? There'll always be room for a system that gives better performance for crappy reliability: thats essentially the price you must pay for the best tech, before its implemented well. Its all Microsofts fault anyway. Windows is the most buggy piece of software ever, and it gets worse with every version.
