PC doenst seem to be a bad choice due to multiple reasons:
accessibility of games (can buy games online at relatively low prices)
number of games (the overall number of pc games seem to be higher than console ones)
possibility of emulating PSX,PS2 games (I hope im not the only one to succesfully run god of war 1/2 on PC)
u can obviously use a controller
u can do a number of things on pc (not just gaming)
and because USB rocks

PC Pros:
-Plays any game, depending on OS. Mac is still a personal computer, so it can still be classed as "PC". What you're referring to is PC as is Windows PC. This runs .exe, not .app. Exe is the most common game platform, but .app games for Macintosh still exist.
-You can mod your "PC", however you want.
-Offer free content.
-Offers controller support from consoles.
-Free online playing (Other than subscription titles)
-Cross OS online support. (Play Mac users on a Windows machine in an online match.)

PC Cons:
-There are file dependencies per OS. Mac and Windows have different kinds of "games" to run. Mac has .app, Windows has .exe. Mac generally has less availability so it's often discredited as a "PC", yet it still is a "personal computer."
-Easily traced, virus downloads, untrusted sources. Screen size generally smaller than a consoles.
-Often hacked on, ruining the games played.
-BSOD. (Blue Screen of Death)
-Paid for game subscriptions (WoW, Runescape, etc.)
-Often have many keyboard keys used, resulting in slower/worse reaction time in shooters/puzzle games.

Console Pros:
-Often hyped, makes more sales than PC, so generally the console platforms have a larger playerbase online.
-Large assortment of games and new releases come out often.
-Games released generally are mainstream and well-known, however many indie games come out on the stores as well.
-Offer free content.
-Offers keyboard support to type with/use in game.
-Optional adapters to support cross-console controllers.
-Controllers are ergonomic to use, resulting in better gameplay.

Console Cons:
-Dependent on controller type, can be buggy.
-RROD and other console malfunctions (Red ring of death)
-Does not support across-console games. (PS3 to PS4), (PS to XBOX)
-Paid online.

I can list more but this is to start.

But as I have listed, you can see consoles have obviously more pros than cons as compared to PC.

#PCMASTERACE anyone?

I've never really had any next-gen consoles, so I've been at the PC all my life. But I feel like consoles are more reliable because you don't have to worry about graphics cards, RAM or anything like that. All you need is compatible game discs and enough hard drive space.
