I'm not sure how you got "PC sales are KILLING" console sales out of that article. In fact, that statement is so far from the truth its amazing in its inaccuracy. Have you actually read the article that you yourself actually quoted? Or did you do a google search on PC vs. Console Sales and thought the title of the article proved your point? Sales on consoles are shrinking, yes, but that's compared to the dominance it once had...but STILL continues to have over any other game delivery platform. The article you cite talks about the reduced sales of dedicated console games...but NEVER does it mention that PC sales are, as you put it, "KILLING console sales".

Here are some sales figures from Fortune magazine which was quoted in an article about how Console sales are shrinking compared to the growth of PC games:

“Times could be changing again, however. According to industry analyst NPD Group, sales of video-game hardware software and even accessories fell for a sixth consecutive month in May, tumbling 28% from a year earlier to $517 million. And with the release of Blizzard’s Diablo III, May also saw the first time since July 2010 that the top-selling game overall was a PC-only title. That boosted PC video games sales up year-over-year to 230% or $80 million.”

So even with a 28% DROP of overall profits, Console game sales are sitting at $517 MILLION. PC Sales, which have had a 230% INCREASE year-over-year are only at $80 million. That means PC games only make 15% of what console sales make despite the fact that there are way more PCs than there are consoles in the world. It also mentions that before Diablo 3 was released, it had been 3 years since a PC only title even made the overall top game sales for a month. And that increase is in a year that Diablo 3 hits which is a HUGE game.

The article you quoted also says: "the rise of casual and social gaming and waning consumer interest are affecting makers of the three big living-room consoles". It NEVER says that traditional PC games are hurting console sales. It doesn't talk about the type of games that you or I enjoy on PCs actually rising, it is talking about the HUGE surge in free-to-play or mobile game sales which TECHNICALLY are PC game sales and thus are of course, available on PCs, but those aren't the kind of games that you or I are referring to, correct? It never says that hardcore PC games are on the rise in sales. And although Angry Birds is technically on PC, people are playing it on their phones and their tablets...they aren't buying the type of PC needed to play Crysis on to play these simple games. It wouldn't surprise me that hardcore PC sales aren't down, because their audience is a small one who are fiercely loyal, whereas a lot of console purchasers are parents who are just getting something that their kids can play on, but now with mobile gaming on the rise, I have heard more kids asking for iPhones and iPads instead of Nintendo 3DSs and Vitas. But they aren't asking for PCs to play Sim City on.

Cevat Yerli was ALSO quoted as saying "that he was disappointed to see the game leading the charts in piracy and because of that his studio would not produce any more PC exclusives, as he believed a game such as Crysis would sell four to five times more copies if it was released on consoles". There are only 2 additional consoles that Crysis was released on and yet he says that he expected it to sell, 4-5x more copies than on PC. If PC sales were equal to console, it would only be 1-2x more copies. But even a huge proponent of PC gaming like Cevat knows that consoles make a lot more money than PCs do.

So don't let article TITLES confuse you...do the research. It's the numbers that actually matter in business, not conjecture. Until PC and Console manufacturers release info on their digital sales, we'll never know the true sway of things, that is true. All we can go on are the released sales figure facts (which show consoles dominating)...and what companies actually do. And what the facts show is that there are large numbers of games that game publishers release exclusively on consoles every month. If hardcore PC games were making that much money, then those same games would be released on PC as well. But they aren't. Simple as that.
