Console Advantages

But the apposing viewpoint is a console player 
(These consoles cost about $500 on launch)

1. Consoles have easier setup, you can plug it in and use it right away

2. You don't need to run your own servers and maintenance, as with PC, you are sometimes stuck with fiddling with command lines trying to set up multiplayer games with their friends

3. Better UI and easier setup in general, you can put in a game and play it, with PC, you have to download the Steam client and wait to download the game (But you don't need a disk)

PC Advantages part 2

3.Cheaper games/Lots of games/Exclusives, The PC gaming application "Steam" has over 5,000 games on its store, this is including of course, the Call of Duty series, Left 4 Dead, Half-Life series, PAYDAY 2, and the most popular game, DOTA 2, which is a free game, also, Steam has many sales in addition to Free to Play games like DOTA 2 and Team Fortress 2, for example, I bought Skyrim for $9.99, where can you find a deal like that? Only on Steam.
4. Modding support, yes I know that you can have SOME mods on SOME console games, but PC games can be modded to the point that it's an entirely different game, G-MOD is a popular mod for Half-Life 2 which, get this, supports mods within the mod, and all of these mods are on the Steam workshop and there are many contributors.



5. You can use it for more than games, you can use it to do schoolwork and regular work making is a multipurpose tool.

PC advantages part 1

With all the arguments I hear over XBOX and PLAYSTATION, I feel the need to make this post to show that neither is the superior platform, and that PC, is indeed the better platform, so here are a few reasons that PC is superior
(These are based on a self-built $600 PC)


1. More frames per second than both consoles, both usually run games at 30fps (frames per second) while PC can get over 60, and even over 100fps
2.Higher resolution, the highest resolution I've seen a console game run at it 900p,  most TVs support 1080p or higher, PCs can run games at over 1080p depending on your display.
