There is definitely benefits to PC's for gaming, as a console user I can't deny that... but for PC gamers are often too pompus about their gaming and systems, that a lot of em don't get that there are benefits to consoles too. It's all in how you play, who you play with, and what the gaming experience is to you.
The consoles are more like an appliance, you don't have manage it, the updates are automatic, you don't have to fuss with drivers and updates breaking things. You know all the games that are for the platform will work fine, and you won't be in a continuous update cycle to keep up with the games (at least until another version of the console comes out).
Most PC gamers I've talked to play from a dedicated gaming location, where their PC is, which is usually a desk or some more formal workstation type setting. I like playing from my couch, with my feet up, on my big screen TV, with my surround sound system, and I'm usually playing 2 player with one of my kids (even up to 4 player on some games) in a more informal and fun time. I'm not trying to be drafted by some ESports team, I'm trying to have some fun, relax after work, and usually involve my kids. Most PC games are designed for a single player, if you want more than that, you need another PC (and place to put it) and game copy to network them together, or meetup online (even though you're sitting in the same room as each other). I've never heard of PC games working in split screen, not sure if that is even a thing on PC games, but it is on consoles, and I use it ALL THE TIME. Is it BETTER? Raw Quality wise no...but fun and family oriented YES.
Also, most PC gamers have their PC setup for themselves, their dedicated room(or corner), their chair, their mouse, their monitor, their desk, for their gaming experience. Consoles are more for the family, I can play on it, but I can also let my 5 yo and my 12yo play on it and not have to worry that they're not going to screw something up on it. I would hate the idea of letting a 5yo get on a full blown PC and poke around trying to startup and switch different games. Since it's NOT my PC they are playing on, I can also let them play games, and I can still have my PC to work on or do other things (as I work from home). If I don't want them playing in the living room, I can plug the console to a spare TV in a back room, and they can sit on the floor or the bed and play. Can you do that easily with a PC gaming system? Not much.
It's all about what you want from it. I've been console gaming since the Atari days when I grew up, I've own over my life, an Atari, NES, TurboGrafx16, PS1, PS2, PS3 (fat original), PS3 (fat 2nd gen), PS3 (slim), and PS4. I've always been a console gamer, and to me, even knowing there are some benefits to PC games, it just doesn't appeal to me...at all. Growing up with consoles, to me, working is the PC, and games are on consoles. I don't want to setup my PC for games, I don't want to sit in a computer chair for another couple hours after sitting it one for work all day. I don't want a big PC in my living room either, and I want to be able to turn it on, and play (with kids). To me, that is gaming from the time I was 5 until now, and that is what defines gaming to me. Not the PC experience.
