They both have their benefits. The PC has a massive library, relatively cheap games and has the potential to give you the best experience in terms of graphical fidelity and performance. You can also do more with a PC than you can with a console. Consoles have a few AAA games that are not available on PC, and each console has its own set of exclusives. They tend to be simpler to use than PCs and, because there's set hardware to target, should theoretically provide the most consistent performance (though this has been getting less and less true recently). Hardware wise, they're basically PCs now anyway. If you're interested in multiplayer then your best bet is to go with the platform that most of your friends are on. Alternatively, just get them all and then you don't have to choose ;-)
