consoles and pc, I'll tell you the pros without the cons... just a positive point of view.

PC

Infinite compatibility, you can play every game from every generation without the "bc issue"

Free online, it's free, it's good.

Emulators, if you own the game, go and download an emulator and now you can play your favorite ps2, gamecube, wii, dreamcast, gameboy, ds, neogeo etc etc games with better performance and visuals. Let's not forget that many emulators don't work properly all the way, even as far back as N64 (Case in point, Ogre Battle 64)

Steam

controllers, you can use every controller ever created and mouse and keyboards Until the PS dongle comes out, DS4 is hampered by Windows, and DS3 lacks drivers altogether. This makes it difficult (not impossible) to play with these controllers.

Interface variety, nothing better than mouse and keyboard, but also big picture mode if you want the console experience

customization, duh it's a pc.

excluding some atrocious ports, you are going to play the ultimate edition of every game, depending on your hardware of course.

MODS, also open platform means more developers and more games including shitty and great games.

cheap and even free games on a regular basis,  today ubisoft gave me The Crew for free, it's not like I wanna play it but hey, it's free.

 

consoles

 third party and first party exclusives, this is the main reason

 forget the drivers and the requirements, just play the game

 The hype before an announcement (can't wait for the NX)

 craziness and gimmicks, some people hate this, I love them

physical games 

 that's it for me, wanna add something else

For PCs:

 

Piracy is much more attainable wait ignore that 

Much better multitasking 

User patches (could be filed under mods, but more specifically fixing problems developers won't. Case in point: the fix for Dark Souls)

 

For Consoles: 

 

Comfortable couch play 

Seamless experience 

Superior performance for the dollar

A thriving trade-in market
