not much so ever since the indie game scene blew up into mainstream - just look at PC exclusive Undertale and how Minecraft started as PC pre-release playing.

Yeah, I find that it's the opposite honestly. Of course, you have those "PC master race" people, but for the most part, PC gamers don't seem to mind playing older or graphically weak games (although admittedly, it can be more difficult to do that with consoles), and are often denigrated for it by console gamers ("lol, imagine paying all that money for a PC and playing League of Legends" or "lol, we already played that game 10 years ago"). AAA games aren't as popular on PC for the most part (although the greater choice and piracy probably contribute to an extent).

Then you have the console wars of course. The Wii and WiiU were commonly seen as underpowered, and the Switch too really. Various multiplats caused no end of arguments despite the differences being minor, like FFXIII, Red Dead Redemption, GTA V, etc. Then you have popular remasters of games that only just came out in the previous gen (The Last Of Us, GTA V, Skyrim, etc.).

Then you have the video in the OP. It's only natural to justify your choice of console, especially if you're loyal to a particular brand. The PC, on the other hand, isn't under any particular brand. At the top end, the PC is so far ahead of consoles that it's not really a contest. The average PC is actually weaker than the latest consoles though.

Again, I'm not saying there aren't PC gamers that care a lot about graphics (of course there are), but I just get the impression console gamers actually care that bit more, which I think is fair enough.
