Are PC gamers truly the 'master race'? I think not. Both consoles and PCs have their advantages/disadvantages. Although i do think PC gaming is slightly better, it is no way a flawless option.
Console gaming is much more simple. All you really need to do most of the time when you first buy one is configure a few settings, insert the game disc, and that's it. PC's require more tinkering, including the actual building of the computer, loading all the software onto it, downloading your games (which can take hours sometimes) and finally you are able to get into the game.
Consoles are also cheaper than gaming computers, have you ever tried spending less than $400 on a "gaming" computer? You haven't, because if you are spending that much, you won't get a gaming computer, you'll get a windows vista laptop that grandma uses to email pictures of her cat to her grandchildren... If you want to
enjoy your computer, it gets expensive. Consoles haven't ever gone above the $500.00 mark IIRC. Even if you found a great PC part for an unbelievable price, they generally aren't good quality and have bad warranties. And not to mention the accessories, Monitors, Keyboards, Mice, Headphones, all of that adds up.
But the PC's are much more interactive, if that's the right word. Its possible to mod games, and you have a much, much bigger selection. And Generally, if you get the right parts, they perform better as well.
You can theoretically play any game from any console on an emulator, and services like Steam, Origin and many others offer a wide selection of titles, ranging from AAA to indie to F2P. Consoles, that most of the time have backwards compatibility, generally play games mad by their parent company. Ever played Halo on your Wii? No, you have not. Played it on a PC? Yeah, probably.
In my opinion, the PC is the 'better' way, but not by much. It all depends on the kind of gamer you are.
