Don't leave the PC Master Race!

In all seriousness though, I would never buy a console specifically for an MMO. Mouse and keyboard is a much faster and more precise control system than a game pad. Communication (both in game and voice chat is a pain on a PS3/4. And the big one... You can't significantly upgrade a console. You're stuck with that CPU, GPU, and RAM for its life. With a PC, however, if you have some cash a year from now and decide you want a better GPU it's an easy swap. Then in 2 years when Intel's Skylake architecture hits the market along with DDR4 RAM and PCIE 4.0, you can swap out the CPU, motherboard, and RAM. You can keep upgrading piecemeal so that your rig is always at least mostly current and you're not looking at the lump sum of cash and mad rush at release of the next gen console.
