I got into gaming on a PC. I also have an Xbox, but I found I never use it. Even when I want to play something “consoley” I’ll opt for my Steam Deck.
Flat out, PC has more games. A lot of them are probably not worth playing, but they are generally cheaper, and they stick with you through upgrades.
The cost of entry is higher. While you can build a PC for the same cost as a console, the performance ceiling is so much higher, and a decent midrange that will get excellent performance in any modern title will cost more.
I think the biggest benefit of PC is getting to play however you want. You can use any controller, play on a couch, train, or at your desk, upgrade one thing at a time, and online play is free.
Overall I’d say it’s a “better” experience, but I’m a techy enthusiast who absolutely can address any problems I encounter, and who’s willing to pay more for a nice experience.

I forgot that all the consoles require a subscription for using servers. So lame.
