If we take it in a literal sense then just the sheer cost to maintain a gaming rig will make it impractical in the long run(this is assuming that you are planning on gaming at the best performance possible, uncommon sure....but still)
You would have to constantly upgrade, which would cost you thousands every year.
A console may not have that option, but only requires software updates.
Its easy to plug in, play and relax.
With k&m support, you can play at peak efficiency as well.
If we take it in a literal sense, then pc would be more expensive.

I pulled the number outta my ass as an example. The point of my post is that a pc gamer were to actively go for optimal performance then in theory, they would constantly upgrade to the best specs, regardless of costs. This would result in upgrading hardware every year as new stuff came out. [b][i][u]YOU[/u][/i][/b] may not do this, but my post isn't aimed at how you maintain your gear. It's focused on the stereotypical hardcore pc gamer.
