Disclamer: I am NOT hating on PC or Console gamers.

"OMG PC MASTER RACE BEST THING EVA"
"NU CONSOLE GAMING BETTER"
"WHY WOULD ANYONE PLAY CONSOLE BURN THEM"

This is how a typical PC vs. Console argument will go. Well, at least if you were to look in youtube comment sections. I can bet you almost everyday there is someone arguing about PC superiority. And it's true. PC's are, in reality, a better way to play games. You get a higher framerate, better graphics. Yet all these "peasants" play on console. Why would they do that? The answer is simple: Simplicity. 

I don't know what the heck a GTX Titan or whatever it's called is. I think it's a graphics card? Now, I know what an Xbox is and how to use it. It runs the games I want to play, and I'm happy about it. Meanwhile, my laptop can barely play an hour of TF2 before it overheats. So, what's the solution? Buy a PC! Do you know what a motherboard is? Or processor? You don't? Well, here's a 5,000 page guide to PCs! Good luck!
Of course I'm over exaggerating. There are plenty of people who will help you learn what that is. After you got all that down, you get to the building part. "It's as easy as building legos". Well, my PC enthusiasts, you may know how to build a PC blindfolded, but I'm pretty sure it's not as easy as building legos. You have to be careful with everything, know where to put everything, and make sure not to screw up everything! With a console, you don't need to learn or build anything. Buy it, plug it in, and BAM! Oh, and you might need to set up an account, but hey, it's just typing in your email. Happy gaming! 
"But PCs cost less in the long run!"
I know all about that. Heck, I've seen PCs that cost less than consoles that run better. And your lord and savior Gaben has sales every, I don't know, DAY? How could you pass up an offer like that! Meanwhile, us console peasants have to pay 50 - 60 dollars a game? HAH! And they have to pay for online multiplayer? I'm almost starting to feel bad for these fools!
But I know you PC elitists paid a bit more for a better PC. Because I know you guys only settle for the best. And there's nothing wrong with that. But if you really want to get the best, you gotta cough up... maybe a 1000? 

PC gaming is better. It has more games, cheaper, and it runs better. And it works out really well for a lot of people! But, even though I'm going to sound completely stupid for saying this, I don't care about that. I just want to play videogames. I don't care about the specs, or the framerate (It would be nice to hit 60 frames per second though.) I just want to play. If you were a kid who just got an NES, would you fuss over the graphics? That's why I play console. PC may be technically better, but it's just not for me. You might like PC gaming, good on you! You'll save money, and have fun! But next time you're ready to insult a console gamer or a PC gamer alike, know that there is a reason to it.

tl:dr I'm lazy and I don't wanna learn. I love PC games more than I do like consoles, but I don't wanna have to build a PC. As long as it runs, I like it.

One simple replay i denied you're last.
1. Wrong often they break and people do amazing none simple things with them like moddeing them, making them mobile, etc.

2. Again this is explained in other comments

3. some games EX. Eve online require payment and we do have to pay 50-70 dollars for brand new games on pc aswell as ps4,xbox,wii,etc.

4. well its not really cheaper yes there are sales but are you saying there arn't sales in the PS and Microsoft stores? also no one says you have to upgrade you're console or pc. As for more games this might be true probally is but there are a ton of Console exculsives and old games only playable on consoles.

Oooh, so you're saying that I'm wrong because I said PC is better? Well, I'll try to bring up a good debate.
1. "people do amazing none simple things?" Sorry, but you might want to reword that.
2. What's explained in other comments?
3. I've never seen Eve Online before. Plus, I got the full Valve game pack, which is normally 100$, for 20$ when a steam sale was going on. 
4. I do notice that if you have Xbox Live Gold, you get a lot of good games for free. Heck, I got Assasins Creed Black Flag just a month ago.
Look, I don't know what you're talking about. Are you trying to defend consoles? Because the point of the blog was to explain why people might like consoles over PC.

I have a feeling that you thought I was attacking PC's and PC gamers? Look, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm going to write another blog about reasons some people like consoles. Just about consoles, I'm not going to compare it side by side with PC. Then, go to that one, and see if you still get the same message.

Wha... what? Look, I'm starting to think that you just read Woody's comment and rewrote what he said. How am I wrong? Heck... why would I be wrong when I didn't answer any questions? I literally just wrote about why some people might enjoy consoles and PC gaming isn't for everyone. I didn't say console is better, or PC is better.

Uh... it just bashes me for forgetting about pre-builts. There's nothing wrong about that, unless it's an absolute sin to forget about pre-builts.

EDIT: I re-read your top comment, and basically you're saying I'm wrong because you said so?

Have you ever even seen a PC building tutorial? There is literally no way to screw it up. Everything only fits in one spot, in one direction. Unless you're trying to mess up, there is no way to do so. It's much easier than Legos—there's only 8 parts, all that only fit into one slot. With Legos, there are hundreds of pieces, and you can attach any part anywhere. Which sounds easier?

There is literally so much wrong with this blog that I can't even begin to address it all
