Should I sell all my console gear for a new pc and new pc gear?

[Serpurty]

I have a problem that I have been thinking about for a long time. I was thinking if i should sell all of my console gear (console, controller, games, headset) for a new pc and a new headset. All i want is your opinion and even though this is mostly a pc hardware site, please don't be too bias. Also, all my friends play on consoles and i don't know if i should leave them and play with myself from now on. Any feedback would help. Thanks.

If you enjoy playing the games on the Console then why bother selling it? For the PC you would end up having to buy all those games again to play with your friends.

The thing is, i have most of the games already on my pc and i want to sell the console because it would help pay for my new pc. Its just that i dont know if i should because all my friends have consoles and cant afford a pc.

I would imagine some of the games are Cross Platform right? At least that is the way everything is moving.

Be careful as some games even though they are on multiple platforms, they have their own servers and you cannot play with them. I think most of the CoD games you play on servers for the specific platforms. As well as consider what you play, like if you like FPSs, some FPS games aren't on PC, i.e. Halo/Destiny.

Personally, I think consoles are the way to go, sure they are weaker than PCs, but a console usually lasts 5+ years. Some people that feel the need to play every game at max settings, they are upgrading components every 2 years which gets real costly. (PC gaming! its a gateway drug! j/k)

Lastly, lately a lot of Game Devs are horrendously lazy at PC optimization to the point of needing to get higher than norm specs just to met minimum requirements (See: AssGreed Unity and its minimum GTX 680 Video card, ouch) or the game just looks bad (See: Watch_Doges) despite having really high specs.
