Consoles are defined by exclusives. Without those, PC is superior, every single time.

Consoles are also

more convenient
cheaper
can sell/trade games
hardware lasts longer than PC hardware especially when you take software/OS compatibility into account

PCs have advantages too, but there are several reasons why most people play consoles.

The last two are valid points, but they are smaller than one bigger point - toward the end of this gen, when console games begin to run like garbage (such as the ones toward the end of the PS360 gen, hello 20FPS), a PC is a graphics card upgrade away from stable performance - and maybe not even that will be necessary. The consoles, well... I suppose the XBO X and PS4 Pro will be OK, but otherwise... yeah. I am not looking forward to that.
