To me it seems like 2016 is the ultimate year for PC gamers who love to act superior to console gamers. Let's review:
1. Directx12 gets rid of the API bottleneck that had the consoles performing much better on pretty much the same hardware as a PC.
2. The PC gets the GOOD VR headsets (Vive and Oculus) while at best console gamers get the garbage PS4 VR headset with its lame not made for it motion controller.
3. Xbox One gamers now have to share their exclusives with PC gamers. A Directx 12 PC is basically an Xbox One with a chainsaw penis.
4. PS4 gamers (some of whom are former PC gamers who bought a PS4 to get away from the PC upgrade cycle) now are facing with having to buy more hardware to have a top-end experience. Someone who built a very nice computer in 2013 when the PS4 released (with a 290x and a Intel i7) will actually have a box that delivers top performance longer than a PS4 will without upgrading.
All together it seems to me PC gamers have a lot of reason to gloat in 2016, well except for that whole "every port is buggy for a few weeks after release" thing.
