Quote..The PC offers even less gameplay innovation than all the others combined..

The writer obviously doesn't know his PC gaming titles that much.  Sure, the big name companies are cranking out the same boring old overpriced crap that they've always done.  It's no coincidence that many of these are cross-platform titles that were pretty much created for consoles in the first place. 

But the ease with which all the small & indie companies have been publishing their fresh new games has been a big boon to PC gaming in the past few years, and it continues.  When I read the author stating that there's less innovation in PC gaming compared to any of the consoles, I just rolled my eyes in disbelief at the ignorance on display.

And most of those heralded indie games are also available on consoles. Indie development for the console market really exploded before the same thing happened in PC land.

I don't think the writer was saying that console developers are innovating more than PC developers. He was saying they're on an even keel. Personally, I agree with him.

Most of those heralded indie games are also on consoles, you say? 

I don't think we play the same indie titles.
