A PC, on the other hand...well, its use varies due to the degree of customisation you have. Some rigs are made for gaming, others for media editing, and a large number are built for general day to day tasks. While you can play games on them, they can also be used for lots of other things, much more than a console can do.
I'd consider a PC to be a system with almost limitless degrees of customisation; I can choose what mothrboard I want, how much RAM, what software, what OS, etc. With that comes with the freedom to do what you want with your PC.
Consoles, on the other hand, have little to no customisation. You're not free to change the motherboard, you can't place a new processor in it, the companies and manufacturers dictate what you can and cannot do with your system, you have no freedom to do what you want.
The second they remove all the freedom and the customisation of a PC, and focus them towards gaming, then I'll consider it a console.
