PCs are (or at least, were) a bit more expensive, they seem more single player focused (in terms of local players) and, let’s face it, owning a gaming PC is a much bigger commitment of time and effort than a console.

Consoles really shined when you could go over to a friend’s house, plug in one box, a few controllers, and have a 4 person couch gaming experience going in less than 5 minutes.
