Console is in the living room and can be played by the whole family. It offers a shared experience with other family members. XBox Live gets you tons of free games to download, and even if they are a couple of years old they don't stop being good just because they are old.

PC's are typically in bedrooms, for playing solo or online. They are also much more expensive. Not at all the same experience.

You can set up your PC to play on a giant flatscreen TV and there are games that allow for splitscreen gameplay if you like that (Awesomenauts is a notable example). There are also LAN parties you can set up. And basically when you get a free game from Xbox Live/PSN+ or whatever they have, you are in the end, still paying money for a game.

A common misconception stated here is that PCs are also much more expensive, which is not the case. A PC that can destroy a PS4 or Xbone only costs around $575 to $750 depending on the current prices of parts. More often than not, you will not have to pay more than $1000 for a PC unless you want an absolute powerhouse.
