Because you like console games
You like the console Gaming experience
you like the simplicity and ease of use
you like a complete Gaming package for a low price
Plus ALL your friends have a console so you want to play with them
I'm sure I got it all right but if I left out something please let me know.
Because you love having to pay a fee to play online
Because you love paying higher prices for games
Because you hate backward compatibility
Because you love using a controller and sit in a couch, there's NO WAY to do that on pc
Because you love 1080p/60fps, this is a deal breaker, it has never been possible on pc
"Both!!"

I'm not a fan of these either/or debates (got both, gamed on both for decades), but given how many "Why bother with console when there's PC" articles in the last few months, it's only appropriate there's a few of these as well. Personally prefer console despite having a beefier PC (can't play Civ V and EU IV on console, so I'll never let that PC go), PC gamers who think there's no benefit to console gaming are parochial and narrow-minded, not superior ;).
I always chose console over PC because of friends and "couch co-op". But since I'm switching from Xbox to PS4 I have no friends to play with :(
