It comes down to two things; ease of use and cost.

With consoles, you can buy one machine that you know will last as it is for years. You get thousands of game options that will work on it out of the box. You can go an entire generation of games without needing to spend a dime on hardware upgrades unless you want to.

The only major downside is if you break your console, you have to jump through hoops with the manufacturer for repairs.

For many people, consoles just make more sense.
