more affordable for some casual gamers, and many games are Console Exclusive (We're looking at you, Nintendo). that said, many console games ARE getting ported to PC, so that is a win. at the same time, many PC games are getting ported to console (I play Hogwarts Legacy & Hollow Knight on the Switch), even games you wouldn't expect to work (Civilization VII is going to be available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation 4 & 5 and Nintendo Switch).
In conclusion, PCs were better, but with consoles getting better and better and games getting ported to them, consoles are slowly becoming an extremely reasonable alternative to a PC.
