> I don't get the argument here. Parts cost money, so does a new console. Just like how you'd swap out your console, you swap out your GPU.
Then I'll elaborate.
> It seems like you think that for every new console generation, PC gamers swap out every single part of their computer when in nearly all cases it's just a GPU replacement.
...I don't, but I can definitely tell you missed the point.
> You don’t need to replace your entire system to spend a lot of money on hardware.
That's the point. People will often point out the fact that often times, console gamers will spend money on consoles with each generation to keep up with the next. My point was that on PC, you'd likely have to spend money on hardware for similar reasoning. For example, even though you'd likely have to spend money going from one console to the next, a PC gamer would likely have to get a new GPU to keep up with DirectX, or at least to make sure they have a GPU than can handle new games on High settings.
Basically, you'd spend money to keep up with the games either way.
> What is even the argument here?
See above.
> You do realize that by playing games on your PS4, you're pushing the system just as we do with our PCs? Except we can do stuff like making sure our system doesn't overheat and damage parts by installing coolers and monitoring temps.
While monitoring temperatures is indeed something you can't do on a PS4, sure, you can put it on a cooling pad, which would help. Also, extra cooling fans for consoles exist
> Consoles have huge issues with cooling because of their smaller parts, PCs do not.
Mini ITX systems. Laptops. A closed-off, poorly ventilated room. PCs can have similar issues.
> There are free options such as SteamOS, and right now Windows 10 can be installed completely for free through Microsoft's website (you have to live with a watermark though). Also pre-builts with Windows are most likely OEM versions, which means the cost of the OS is significantly lower.
This part is about when I was taking the extreme of "never having to upgrade your PC's hardware," which isn't true. Either way, a console's OS is free too, so I guess this just means the two are pretty similar in that regard.

> So when developers decide to make a game available for all available platforms, and the PC version runs at 30fps with subpar graphics and little options, you say that it has nothing to do with the console versions?
Yes. Because they don't have to. In your own words:
> on PC because you have benefits such as no framerate locks, actual graphics options
Because that's an option. Even if they make the consoles version less graphically intensive, this isn't something that has to carry to the PC. If they give you the option to tone down the graphics on your PCs to low quality, such as lower-res textures, they can just put the lower-res textures on the consoles. They can reduce the despawn limits and render distances, they can reduce the number of spawning NPCs in an area, they can reduce the particles-- they can lower what the console ports have to render without touching a single line of code, if the consoles are really holding them back. And again, they don't even have to go out of their way to do these things, because they often make these options for the PC ports.
Ignoring the fact that, again, they don't even have to make a console option, they could make the PC port as powerful as they want... for the most part. The "most part" will be addressed next.

> Why is that relevant at all?
Because of something you said.
> On PC you can choose how powerful your rig is
If you can afford it. Want to really know what can hold devs back? Making sure their game can run on low-end PCs.
> Did you know that according to the Steam Hardware & Software Survey (July 2017) , the percentage of Steam gamers who use a GPU that's less powerful than that of a PS4 Slim’s GPU is well over 50%? Things get dismal when compared to the PS4 Pro (Or Xbox One X). On top of that, the percentage of PC gamers who own a Nvidia 10 series card is about 20% (about 15% for the 1060, 1080 and 1070 owners).
Low-end PCs are more numerous then even mid-tier gaming PCs. Devs have to keep that in mind, lest they reduce the number of people who can buy their game. Even if you want to talk about "low spec consoles," don't forget about devs having to keep in mind low end PCs.
By the way, the point was also that you can choose a more powerful console, just like you can choose a more powerful PC.
