There are both pros and cons to either, PC gaming for starters is expensive considering today's economic landscape considering handheld PC's a cheaper alternative. Console gaming (Switch, XBOX, PS) cost less than a full desktop PC (let alone a gaming laptop), there are consoles for indoor use only (PS5) and portable / hybrid (like the Switch). Each format has exclusive titles.

This question has never been an issue for me, although I could just be heavily biased. It's all about the individual title for me. If I want to prioritize graphical fidelity, I choose PC, although my card is an nvidia 3080 and I don't see myself upgrading ever again since I play less so maybe I have hit some sort of ceiling. If I'm playing games that I grew up with and the overall atmosphere is more important than UE5 visuals and the title is not available on PC, I choose the original console.
