Consoles are far better than PCs for gaming. Gaming, you are fiddling with RAM, CPUs, compatibility of motherboards, Windows versions, cooling, malware, while a console, you just plug and play.
This statement is purely a personal truth. While yes it takes experience with computer hardware to manage and upgrade to play the latest games, PC's by hardware comparison are far more superior.
If you're talking about ease-of-use then yes, consoles win hands down. As for better? That's a matter of opinion and not fact. Not everyone has an issue with managing computer hardware and software as you've stated.
Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith. - Paul Tillich, German theologian and historian
