You just gave PC gaming a MASSIVE advantage with the trade off of a tiny disadvantage. You can't judge things based on a different set of standards. If you're ranking them solely for gaming, a PC is no more dangerous than a console. Now if we're talking about modding, yes, it's slightly more dangerous. But keep in mind that CONSOLES DON'T HAVE MODS! In skyrim and fallout, there are mods that add a map that nearly half the size of the actual map... for free! And there's not just one, there's several of those. These people add voice acting and everything for absolutely no pay. There's mods to numerous games that make them look near photorealistic. Google skyrim 100 mods. It's one of the most beautiful things you'll see. Why am I talking about skyrim so much? Because almost every mod worth having is on the steam workshop. Which essentially is the free DLC shop. Then there are huge mods like that for numerous games. And small ones for almost every game that's out. Keep in mind, if you don't mod it, you'll have all the content a console game has except with better graphics. Bringing mods into the argument was a bad choice sir because, once again, you've shot yourself in the foot because you just decided to bring Mods into the argument to try and argue against playing on the pc.

Not my experience with mods. They mostly bring a working game down to it's knees on my pc. A lot are more hassle than they're worth. In contrast every LBP level I've downloaded on ps3 works flawlessly. Sure most suck but never any performance issues.
Anyway it's not an argument against pc gaming in general, it's just not as great as people always make it out to be. I have had the occasional virus from downloading FSX mods, mods have crashed my games, introduced bad glitches, or slowed them down to a crawl.
Nowadays I rather play the base game than tinker around with mods. But if you like mods than sure pc is the place to be. Priorities shift when game time becomes limited later in life. I rather spend 1% configuring vs 99% playing the base game, while some people are fine with 80% configuring / taking screenshot and 20% playing a much better looking game.
Steam workshop is a great addition, but again if you don't have a big overhead in power you're likely to run into problems. 80% of the time it works great, 20% you're scratching your head, why is it not working... It's awesome to add user made maps to games, cities in motion 2 was pretty much build on that premise. It only includes a few generic base maps. Lazy if you ask me, but I guess they figured people would use the workshop to download maps from cities they know anyway.

You're distracting from the point though. First off, you're the one that brought mods into the argument, and this response seems to be acting as if I randomly brought it up. I also don't get the whole lbp argument. You're not modding with lbp. You're playing the game the way it's meant to be (side note, can't wait for LBP3!). You're also forgetting about the steam workshop. That's one of the best ideas steam has came up with. I usually don't mod a game unless the mods are on the steam workshop. These people create maps as vivid as the actual game. The skyrim mod I mentioned earlier many people actually consider it a better story than what bethesda came up with. Also, 80% configuring? The most difficult game I've modded was Fall out, which doesn't work on the workshop, and it took me about 30 minutes to set up everything. That's really not that big of a deal.
