the biggest advantage of a console is stability... If you buy a PS3 game and you have a PS3... it is guaranteed to work...
No wondering if your GPU can handle it... no upgrading DirectX... no (ok, very few) "FFXIV had to close" errors... no hardware conflicts or device driver issues.... Controller works as intended....

Console is a much more controlled environment... which is probably nice for the developer, because they don't have to make sure their game can run on a seemingly infinite variety of setups
Also because the OS is designed just for that particular console... it doesn't have all of the background processes that a PC has to have
Drivers for days.. Network sharing services, Antivirus, Firewall, Driver after driver, service after service....

Not to knock PCs though (as it is my preferred platform)
A well managed PC can be error free as well...
There is just a lot of room for user error...
But ultimately... PC's have the potential to perform better, Consoles have the potential to be more stable
