I think that consoles are great but computers are better on almost every level.
They are better for games because you can optimize and mod stuff (you can also emulate and pirate stuff);
They can be used for: mathemathics, mechanics, physics simulation and other science suff;
They can be used for work;
But, at the end of the day it all depends on the and the user pc. There is computer and computer. For example, a commodore 64 is an ant compared to a modern day ps5 or even a new phone like the iphone 14.
Also if a user is tech illiterate he might download a virus, overclock irresponsiblly the cpu or gpu or maybe even water the computer to make it grow the ram's clock speed like a tomato.
So, in conclusion: If you only play games and you are not knowledgable about computers you definitively should go for a console.
But a computer is more useful because it can be used for more stuff.
