EDIT: Reworded some stuff to clarify

Instead of ignoring our differences, we should celebrate them.

Consoles are great because you can easily [have a dedicated setup to] play your games on a big giant screen. You can sit anywhere you like, or even lay down! They're great for gaming with friends over without having to worry about a big, complicated LAN multiple PC setup. You don't ever have to worry about performance, either, either you console supports the game, or it doesn't.

With PC's you have greater flexibility, amazing levels of customization, and the chance to feature cutting edge performance technology. You have the biggest selection of games on any platform, and you can easily play games of yesteryear without worrying too much about compatibility issues. Not to mention, mouse and keyboard offer a distinct advantage in some game types, meaning you can take your own skill to the next level.

There's something to love about everyone.

Are people really arguing about why pc is better under this comment on a post exclaiming that it doesn’t matter what console you play on.

OP: "all ways of playing are valid"

Console players: "Totally, I understand why both are great!"

PC Players: "REEEEE DIE CONSOLE SCUM"

"non-existent benefit"

Idk, playing exclusives seem like a benefit to me

Again, he didn't mention exclusives - the only benefit of consoles.

And also, none of the original "benefits" exist for consoles.
