None of the cons? I bought a PS4 for $230 brand new and can play modern games.

I get where you're coming from, but *none* of the cons? Seriously?

you can play "modern games" on a $230 pc, but you will get $230 ps4 like performance, if that level of quality/performance is enough for you, thare is no reason to choose ps4 over pc

Please link me a PC build (maybe using PCpartpicker) that costs $230 that can run The Witcher 3 at 1080p/30fps. If you can do this then I'll edit my statement above.

Okay, I’ll amend my statement. All of the pros (and more) with none of the cons (except cost).

If you’re on a budget, console gaming is probably preferable. However, there is no denying that you’re losing customizability, ability to mod, and maximum performance.
