Consoles are far better than PCs for gaming. Gaming, you are fiddling with RAM, CPUs, compatibility of motherboards, Windows versions, cooling, malware, while a console, you just plug and play.
This statement is purely a personal truth. While yes it takes experience with computer hardware to manage and upgrade to play the latest games, PC's by hardware comparison are far more superior.
If you're talking about ease-of-use then yes, consoles win hands down. As for better? That's a matter of opinion and not fact. Not everyone has an issue with managing computer hardware and software as you've stated.
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
