itchy01ca01: A console holds all of your information that is completely out of your hands. On a PC, I can literally encrypt or obfuscate a large majority of what I do.
I have no documents on there, no bookmarks, no pictures, no pirated software or media, I don't do my banking there, I use pre-paid cards to make purchases. They encourage me to provide my real identity and address for the account but it's easy not to - not being honest won't shut me out of any services I'm using (heck, my girlfriend actually plays and watches movies on an offline account). Conversations with my buds on there are about gaming, certainly not about really sensitive matters.
The point is that really sensitive information doesn't even make it on there to begin with. You can obfuscate data on your PC as much as you want (besides, how realistic is having everything obfuscated at all times?), it won't be as safe as letting unrelated matters get handled by entirely separated systems. Heck, that's why banks (at least over here) send authorisation codes to your phone instead of depending on some

itchy01ca01: On a console, all of your information is saved on an account owned completely by someone else. If they don't want you to have that console, you won't have it. They would have a very hard time with trying to shut out a PC.
Besides getting shut out not being a realistic worry for now (consoles still have very few online requirements compared to PC gaming, stuff like online synchronisation being rather a privilege), getting shut out isn't the matter where talking about here anyway, is it?
