In addition to what sibling comment wrote well, there are also a bunch of games that aren't "couch-friendly" and not even available on console.

I like consoles (borderline prefer them to PCs) but there are some experiences I can only have on PC.

Another aspect is that sticking a console onto my desk and plugging it to my PC monitor wouldn't be very practical, and I don't want to commit my living room to my gaming whims, and even less want to get another TV+couch-like setup in my office.
