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)
