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.

Pc hands down.

I was out of the console game when my PS3 died probably a decade ago. But I just picked up a ps5 for gta6 and I'm gobsmacked by how bad the experience is. A monthly fee to go online, a monopoly on digital games making games stupidly expensive. A very lackluster games library, no keyboard and mouse support, and in terms of cost it's barely cheaper than a gaming PC which is obviously infinitely more flexible. A ps5 is a mediocre toy that says "fuck you" to it's owner, every chance it gets
