Which is better, a PC or a video game console?

That depends on your needs and wants. To keep this answer unbiased I'll just list pros and cons of both console and PC.

PC

Pros:

• Free online
• Has more games than console
• Graphics are better.
• Controls are better than console controls for most games.
• Change graphical settings for most games just in case your computer isnt up to par with the game.
• Stronger than a console depending what computer you have.
• You can use a gaming laptop and use it for travel.

Cons:

• If you want to have good graphics on a computer, you may need to buy a decent computer and may be expensive depending on your budget.
• Need to be familiar with computer parts in order to know what you're getting.
• Cant upgrade a gaming laptop.

Consoles

Pros

• Has console exclusives.
• Doesn't require much to play. Plug and play
• Good graphics.
• Easy to get into
• No need to upgrade the console.

Cons

• Pay online
• Most console games are capped at 60 fps which is fine but its possible for some games to drop below that and increase input lag.
• Have to buy the next iteration of the console if you want to upgrade as oppose to PC where you just change the parts.
• Does not allow keyboard and mouse support as far as I am aware of. Even with an adapter that is considered cheating to most console players.
• Less games compared to PC.
