I'm not saying it's just flipping a switch, but it's also not the monster that people make it out to be. Porting a game to a console is usually a lot harder, but the vast majority of things should work on a PC already as they were probably developed and tested on a PC.

    Yes, but making a port of a game to a console involves using the console's APIs for things. Things like input, network, graphics and others can't use generic libraries in consoles like you can on PC. If you're making a game on a modern game engine a lot of that is abstracted away for you, but if you're working on a game engine or a game written from scratch you need to take these things into consideration.
