Why would you suspect me not a pc gamer? If you play games on many different platforms I don't see how that makes you any less a pc gamer. If you play the vast majority of your games on consoles, I think that's enough to prove that you aren't much of a PC gamer.
Hell, just look at your posts. You repeatedly state that you prefer consoles over PC.
I don't understand why given the choice between a pc version of a game like Assassin's Creed brotherhood on the PC and PS3 you'd choose a platform that releases the game months later, includes always on DRM, costs the same, and is not easily traded. I think the ubisoft games can be traded to friends and such but in general finding a buyer is a much more difficult task than it is on the console versions. So many games are the same experience on both platforms so I don't understand why so many people put up with the stuff you see on the PC. Playing a game at 1920x1080 with 8XAA, 16XAF and 60+ FPS is not the same experience as playing it at 1280x720 (or lower), 2XAA (or none), 2XAF (or none) and 30 FPS. The difference is night and day. Of course, if your top priority is resale value, these things probably won't matter to you.
The PC will always offer superior image quality and performance and in many cases, controls. For those games that control better with a gamepad, you can just plug one in. If you want to sit back on your couch and play on a big TV, just hook up your PC and off you go. The only downside to some PC games is excessive DRM. Then again, if you have no moral qualms about buying and selling used games, you shouldn't feel any qualms about cracking your PC games and avoiding the DRM entirely.
Each time a new set of games comes out my hardware is lacking and at this point I think I'm falling below the required specs. The best way to avoid this is to not buy the cheapest parts you can when upgrading your PC. Think in the long-term and try to future-proof your system as much as possible. It'll last much longer that way, resulting in fewer upgrades in the future.
Like you said I play a lot of extremely cheap used games and rentals which are not available on the pc. This is what confuses me the most about your position. If you only care about saving money, PC would be the way to go because you can just pirate all your games. Free is still better than $1 or however much you spend on games. Also, the DRM would be cracked so no problems there. The buying and selling of used games does not benefit developers or publishers at all. They see no profit from those transactions so for all intents and purposes, you might as well be pirating.
