PC Gaming Vs Console Gaming

This particular comparison weights heavily on a lot of people. There has always been an ongoing debate on which one is better, but I am going to go with the most neutral approach and say it depends on what you prefer. I personally built my own desktop "gaming computer" and also have been playing console games for many years, so I feel like I have a decent understanding on the pros and cons of both.

PC Gaming: 

Pros 

• Can potentially play any game in 4K resolution with 60 FPS (Frames per second) and above 
• Upgrade-able hardware, you aren't stuck having to buy a completely new computer for a better experience. Just swap out the part.
• Games are extremely affordable; most games are around $20-$40  
• Free multiplayer game-play; You do not have to pay a yearly subscription fee in order to play an online game with other people
• Game modifications, you are capable of downloading tweaks to a game in order to change up the way it plays

Cons 

• Can be extremely expensive to purchase or build a capable "gaming computer", cost ranges from $600 to over $2,000 dollars depending on what performance you want 
• Many games only allow mouse and keyboard for a controller, to some this isn't a con but to people who are transitioning from console to PC it can be difficult to adjust. 
• Somewhat poor game compatibility, many games that are on the PC are ported from their console counterparts, so you may see a lot of game crashing and computer freeze ups. 

Console Gaming: 

Pros:  

• Relatively cheap, The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 go for around $300 
• Superb game compatibility, since developers only have to create coding and an engine for a specific console, then games will be better optimized .
• Very little troubleshooting, it's a game console at heart, so generally you will not run into issues with games not running properly 
• More online players, since consoles are relatively cheap compared to computers more people choose to play games on them which can make finding people to play with quicker. 

Cons:

• Virtually no upgradeability, if you want stronger performance there aren't any other options besides to convert to PC gaming or wait for new generation of consoles 
• Locked to 4K resolution and 30 FPS ( as of now) 
• Games are pricey, all new games will cost you at least $60 
• Have to pay for online access, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One both charge a $60 yearly subscription to play with other people. 

As you can see, there are definitely strengths and weaknesses for each platform of gaming. Generally, I think it is entirely up to the individual which one they prefer more, but this comparison should offer a bit of information for you to pick the right choice.
