You aren't even trying to make a point, but arguing and dodging for the sake of it. I'm done.

That's not exactly how we should look at it. We take PC as an inclusive platform because all players play together. There is no independant Mac or Linus server. And the developement process and costs are nowhere near what they are for the different architectures between consoles. Moreover, the market share isn't nearly the same. If you want to isolate Windows-based PC gaming you can suit yourself all day, as the numbers won't change all that much,

The "console that released a year ago" is a fallacious argument. We don't compare 30 years of PC gaming to this year of consoles. We compare year to year revenu. Date of release is of no consequence in that statistic. And the heart of the matter is that PC (particularly mobile, true, but pure PC as well) as been growing at an incredible rate. I understand that one can feel like excluding mobile, and I would like to see stats without it myself, but it is still gaming that, while casual, is mostly only possible on PC thanks to the flexibility of the patform. Like a mom owning a Wii to play wii-fit once a week is part of console statistics.

As for cost. A $1200 gaming PC will often actually save you money over the course of a generation. As for annual upgrades, it is propaganda only hard-headed fanbois want to believe in. A well built $1200 PC will last you 5 years easy, and will save you enough money in that time for a whole new system, though all you could need, if that time, after that is a new card for about $250. You are mistaken if you think console is the less expensive option. As an example, my Jan. 2011 $1100 build still runs anything I throw at it on med-high to Ultra and I don't expect to upgrade anything in it for a good 2 years at least. I have played well over 200 games on it in that time, for thousands of hours. My 7 years old PS3 has cost me about 1k in the time I have owned it. I have 7 games. It is not even comparable.

Here is PC gaming dying with more and more people year after year.

You are confusing pc owners with PC gamers. My 60 y-o father is a PC owner. He doesn't play games. PC hardware and games sales have skyrocketed. PC gaming has been breaking records year after year, be it concurrent players or multimillion dollar prize pools and whole stadiums filled for the eports scene.

What's wrong with having a hundred times more choices of better games, better performance, more diversity, more customization and less problems while saving money?

I wouldnt say console as we know them will never die. You can secure exclusivity deals only so long when your hardware, gamer base and price competitiveness are getting farther and farther behind. The next gen will have to put some magnificent trick out of its azz to retain it's gamers. The number of builds I helped people put together in the past year is starting to dwarf the 5 previous ones together.
