Both PC and consoles share the same market - high end gaming. Your iPhone "argument" makes no sense, it's a red herring.

  No they don't. Console games serve the "Console game market". PCs serve the "PC market" (A subset of that is the High end gaming market that enjoy keyboards and mice). Show me a Street Fighter tournament being played on PC? Or a Starcraft game being played on Consoles? ... The reason you can't find those things, is they are different markets.

    Just because you named a few games that are platform-specific, doesn't mean there are tons of games that exist on both PC and consoles. With the new PS4 x86 + GPU architecture, portability becomes trivial. PS4, essentially, is a PC stuck in one configuration.

      You're missing the point, they aren't specific games that are platform dependent. We're not comparing MGS4 to counter strike, which are both shooters. Fighter games, in general, are on consoles. You simply just don't play them on PCs. Similarly, RTS games are PC only; the only RTS on console I know of is Halo Wars, which sucked. Just these two cover ENORMOUS markets, with Starcraft tournaments having millions of dollars in prizes, etc, yet are based on entirely different markets. PC vs Consoles more accurately share _subsets_ of the high end gaming market, which overlaps in some places (like Call of Duty), and differ in many others.
