I think only a handful of folk here would buy the game all over again on console. The console version is not targeted at us existing players, but rather at those people that only have a console as their gaming experience.
It makes no sense to me that there is even a sniff of competition between those of us that like to play games, be it on whatever platform.
I started playing games with pieces of cut out card with numbers written on them on the dining room table when a basic computer needed to be housed in a warehouse. (Oooo.... the kitchen table is cooler noob).
Games are games.
I picked my PS4 up for 150 Pounds Sterling and it included Horizon Zero Dawn on release and a spare controller, so the way I see it, this release brings a one of kind game into the reach of many more people.
There are reasons people prefer what type of platform a game is built for..mainly their own personal tastes, we all know console games are more linear, shooting, goal orieniented, focused on level type playing etc. That's why some of us are strictly pc gamers and have no interests in those or any multi player game or any rpg/linear/level climbing games. There are different platforms for different reasons, and usually phone games are for the those who aren't really interested in indepth stories, adventure and sandbox but to level up and get the endorphen highs that come with accomplishment. Those who play consoles are a totally different breed and if they can't see why people prefer pc gaming then that just proves console gamers will never understand a pc gamer, ever. Some float back and forth but each niche has their own die hard fans of platforms and there are a thousand reasons for those niches.
