Why do people play non-exclusives on an inferior system. PCs with power are so cheap these days especially with the 1000 series cards have been announced. Why dont you have a PC, if you dont have one yet. Discuss?
Myself for example, when I had integrated graphics I was able to still get better performance out of a console rather than my PC. So when it came to choosing between my Xbox 360 and my PC, I usually chose the 360.
I've since bought a GTX 750 Ti for my first graphics card ever and I can run most games at pretty good fps at low to medium settings.
Most people do have PCs but don't have graphic cards installed to run the newest games at the same fidelity as their PS4 or Xbox One. Having to purchase a very strong power supply for their PC among other things makes people hesitant on figuring out which high end card to get. Consoles are much more plug and play out of the box. I went for the GTX 750 Ti as my starting card so that I wouldn't need a new power supply. The trade off is there's still many games that I won't be able to run at max settings smoothly.
So to sum up what I've wrote above, many people use consoles over PCs for one main reason. Consoles require much less knowledge to set up. All you need to do is run to the store, buy your console and then buy some games for it. PC often involves a person having to open it up to install extra RAM, a graphics card, a sound card, a power supply, or anything else hardware related that puts a lot of people off generally.
I play all my games on PC now but I understand why a lot of people haven't and won't make the transition for some time.
