It may seem like consoles are becoming PC's or heading in that direction. But the fact of the matter is that the console gaming is only headed in the PC direction in terms of graphics. But the PC is ever evolving with new graphics chips and processors, whilst consoles are manufactured in time.

The purpose of the console was so you can get to the action, and play a game without loading up your computer or worrying about installing new games and storage. Consoles were made to be a basic example of plug-n-play. And while they're approaching PC level graphics, and PC level utilities, it will always be insert game and play.

The day when we buy games for a console and INSTALL it to play it, will be the day when console gaming has diminished into PC gaming. But right now, even though there are similarities to PC and Console gaming.... there are a lot of differences in the fac tthat console gaming was made so you can just unplug it, and take it to any TV you want, and put in a game and play from there... no installations.
