Why would I want to build something myself anyway?

Exercise, you seem like you need some.

The man with a hammer begins to see everything he encounters as a nail

Yeah, I'll concede that I'm not the only one who buys into Steam sales only to get games that have been sitting around in the library which I'll "get to" eventually.

Either way, I prefer PC gaming because I built and repaired PCs for a semi-living (Not anymore, college!). Not to mention it consolidates everything, which is convenient.

If the next generation of consoles came out at nearly the last generation's introductory prices, then PC gaming isn't really much more expensive. The hardware ploy is a bit of a gimmick, too. You don't always need to upgrade when something new is out.

Graphics on lots of PC games probably won't be much better either way, since plenty are console ports, too.

Steam sales.

I bought 7 games for $50, and they are all AAA titles.

Building a PC isn't difficult. Especially with newer cases, the only things you need to screw in are the motherboard and the PSU.

Manual labour just isn't for me, I don't see why that should be an issue if I just want to play games.

I think you could ask your PC elitist friends to built it for you. Just say, "Here, I finally buy all the parts because of yer yappin'! Now build it for meh!"

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

I grew up around consoles. Even if I had a PC that could run any game, I don't think I'd make the switch.

I'm a die hard Xbox gamer but as soon as I have enough for a gaming laptop I'm moving. PC gaming FTW!

You can get so many add-ons through mods, there's a wider and more mature community and if you have a gaming laptop you can play anywhere (biggest selling point for me)

I'm just curious, and from what I have seen so far nobody has a valid reason to try and force me to play PC.

Well duh, seems apparently you're already pretty content with console.

People get a gaming rig usually because it's more convenient for them. They do some stuff on the PC but they also want to play games there.
Just like the reason why I get a decent laptop. I manage a gaming blog and likes to mess around with Photoshop (Illustrator soon), but sometimes I want to relax a bit and play some games. Besides getting a laptop to play some games is more flexible when I have to do some traveling instead of bringing a console just to play games and another laptop to do some work.

Just ignore the elitist and play some games, 'kay?

10/10 for getting me to respond OP.

PC gamingisn't for everyone. However, if you like the best version of something, or like games to look good, or like customisation and modifying game content for no cost, then PC gaming is objectively better than console gaming.

And a $400 gaming PC would run games better than a console for a fraction more. Don't just assume PC is more expensive, it really isn't.

Okay, you don't play PC games and we'll carry on playing them.

End of problem.
