You know, you can do both, right? I do and it's great...i miss out on nothing!
I think it's OT, but anyway... I know myself, I know myself very well and I know that I'm used to set crazy standards that can be hardly satisfied (even by myself). Having a console sets a "low" standard for graphics, it's cheap, you spend zero seconds in setting it up/thinking about graphics settings, driver, hardware compatibility and whatnot, you buy it once and don't need to think about it for 6-7 years. I buy it, I have my gaming machine and I'm happy.
PC, on the other hand, has no limits, you can spend 3000€ for a rig and still have room for improvement, every year there's a new hardware on the market, it takes time to build it (if you don't want to waste your money on those pre-built gaming PCs, in particular if you want something small and nice to put in the living room), knowledge (I'd need to get), then it takes time to set games (the nvidia auto-setting or whatever is called is shit, I tested it with TW2) AND I know that after few months at 60fps, I'd become one of those guys continuosly saying "OMFG anything below 60fps is totally umplayable, how can you play on those shitty consoles?" affecting my pleasure when I play ps4's exclusive.
As you can see from my presence on this forum, I'm easily prone to get myself addicted to useless waste of time situations (even though I'm keeping my english trained since I'm not using it anymore in my "new" job), I'd spend hours and hours (and probably money) in reading hardware reviews to understand how the GTX2080 ti is better than the 2080 and if the price difference is worthy or if I should go for a full AMD rig, if seagate SSD are the best or not, the difference between TXAA and FXAA... The choice of not buying a gaming PC is taken to limit my "crazyness".
Plus, the fact that consoles' resources are 100% used just for gaming and optimization is done by software houses very in depth, gives me the idea that the money I spent are 100% used for their purpose. This is not valid for PC. I'm a huge fan of cost/benefit concept and "I don't like the idea of buying a ferrari to drive where the speed limit is 50 km/h". I also don't use the PC at all in my spare time, so I would buy it just for gaming, making my console superflous since I'd use it only for exclusives. And this destroys the above mentioned concept of cost/benefit.
And I couldn't care less of strategy games and stuff that is only on PC, so its exclusives are totally worthless in my decision, I'd use it only to play games we have on consoles as well, but with higher graphic settings.
