The thing that holds back the PC is more or less it takes more dedication.

Console- buy a game, pop in the disk, play.

PC-First of all, build the PC *which costs more than a console*, then get the game, make sure your PC can run it, then play. After a while, you'll need to upgrade your PC, etc.

If you put the dedication needed for a PC, it is a great experience, and Steam is badass, but not everybody can/wants to do that.
