Just curious, by why don't you hook your PC up to your TV and sit back in your comfy couch and speakers? I'm 100% curious and not trashing, I just built a PC hooked up to my 60" and play with a wireless Xbox 360 controller while, when kids aren't home, utilizing my surround sound. Am I missing something?
I actually do the same thing as him. I own a backwards compatible PS3, Xbox 360, and a gaming PC, and I still buy everything on Xbox 360, as long as whatever game is on it. Apart from strategy games, of course. Those are frustratingly impossible to play with a controller.
Anyways, there are a few reasons I prefer Xbox.
First of all, friends. I don't know a single person who plays games on PC. Everyone I know is on Xbox 360 only.
Second, the majority of games that come out nowadays on PC, even some multiplatform games, do NOT support controllers. And I really do not like playing with mouse and keyboard. It may be more effective, but I feel that it's less immersive and fun for gaming itself. Unless, like I said, it's a strategy game.
Third, all consoles are easier than PC. Being a PC gamer myself, I realize it's still incredibly simple to install a game and do the patches, installs, tweaking settings, etc. But for consoles, it's just insert disc and play. Simple and fast.
I can't really think of anything better than those 3 right now, but this doesn't mean I think Xbox 360 is a better platform for gaming, just my preference. There are obvious reasons for people preferring PC, like better graphics, and being able to mod, but I personally don't care for that very much. Oh, and the amazing deals that never come to consoles but are pretty much a constant thing on PC via places like Steam and GOG.
I'm getting PS4 a little later, maybe when Naughty Dog's next game comes out. Getting Xbox One day one with BF4, CoD Ghosts, and Ryse. I'm also waiting for the next Starcraft 2 expansion. Can't wait for that!
