To me, the essentials are that you are playing on a completely open platform, not owned by any company (thus, plenty of room for complete competition in all areas of the business), and that most games can be modded or used in any manner you like. Plus, it's where you do various other things so it's not a dedicated machine. Keyboard and mouse is a plus, though I'd like to see that introduced to consoles too.
To highlight, one of the big things for me is that no one owns it. If you want a game on the Xbox, Microsoft must approve it. If you want a game on the App Store, Apple must approve it.
If the future holds some new non-Windows type of device that holds all the same features, I think I'd be okay with it.
