You would need some kind of capture card device in your PC which you would plug your console into. This used to be a really complicated thing but now there are awesome dedicated devices like this one http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/game-capture/default.html
Unless your PC has some way to do video in with a capture device this will not be possible.
