Consoles are just smaller, weaker, portable PCs with significantly less options and no room for upgrades without buying a brand new system. They're also easier to use though, and that's pretty big for a lot of people. Plug it in, play the game, simple as that. But that's pretty much where the advantages end between the two. Not to get into the whole "PC master race" thing yet again, but just about everything else a console can do, a PC can do better.
