How about better graphics and better fps? That's a huge plus. The XBONE can play games at low-med settings while the GTX 760 can play games at high-ultra at 60+ fps.

Yes, both new consoles are only equivalent to a $700 PC.
They will never get better, but your PC will be up-gradable, for a while.

Well, it all comes down to preferences and function, for instance:
Xbox and Playstation, though they can't really fault it for the huge difference between the new generation and the old generation, are essentially completely abandoning the 360 and PS3 for new games. Which kinda sucks speaking as a long time fan of Xbox that I can't really justify jumping for the sake of playing 2 games (Halo 5 and Batman: Arkham Knight)

Now, I'll be building a PC, that I'll be gaming on games I've missed playing (rts and mmo), a bunch of titles I want to play, and I'll also be using a second touch screen monitor for other reasons and purposes. The best thing about it is I'll have plenty of room and freedom to upgrade according to my needs and wants and gets me into learning about the technology itself and what makes my system tick. For instance, it appears that XboxOne and PS4 are running the same processor but PS4s one seems to be better.

I don;t know, after playing Halo series from the beginning, seemed like a deal breaker for me to miss out on 5 because of a huge generation gap between 360 and One. I can do so much more with a PC.

Exactly
I forgot to mention a PC can do a million other things.
I exaggerate a little.
Lets see you run photoshop on a console

A console is considerably less private for online conversations too, I think I read somewhere Microsoft even monitor Skype convos on their Xbox consoles, all part of the Terms and Conditions.
