PC is great for those with some computer knowhow, money, and/or time. But from what I understand, a solid gaming PC will still run you $1000. Plus I've found in my (rather limited) experience that local multiplayer is difficult or nonexistent on PCs.
Now, my current situation of living abroad has meant playing the PC for the first time ever, but I can really only run Torchlight 2 on my poorly outfitted rig. It's also nice not needing a TV since I have a laptop. That being said, I still prefer console just because I love the controller and it's so much easier to just plug and play.
