The strength of the PC comes from a large number of different factors, I can name a few of them: it's customizable and it's a work tool, so it can cater for totally hardcore and totally casual gamers and all the gradations in between. Having a continuous, not by discrete steps, evolution, it came to offer BC spanning more than two generations, this further enlarges its market to wide shades of retrogamers. No royalties to HW producers make prices drop down lower with time and launch prices be lower too, so it becomes the cheapest choice for people that would need a PC anyway.
The downside are possible SW, drivers and HW conflicts and incompatibilities, but they are less serious and difficult to solve than in the past.
