Consoles are dying. Thanks to them becoming locked pre-built PCs. So why just get a PC at that point.

I disagree. I think they're dying because big publishers have become so risk averse. It takes forever for a game to be finished and when it's done it's usually forgettable slop, with a few exceptions. PC gaming allows for different tiers of games to be developed more easily so there's more variety.
