Consoles are the much easier option. Getting a good PC that's cost effective does mean building your own, and researching what parts are going to be the best fit, as ideally you want them to last a while. I bought stuff that i can overclock, so after 2-3 years i can bump up the power by overclocking, meaning i might not need any upgrades for another year or so. I've been mostly a console gamer up until around 4 years ago, and i can honestly say that PC has been the far cheaper option for me. Steam sales alone mean that you never really pay above £15-£17 for a game, even a mainstream title like the Assassin's Creed series, or Tomb Raider or something like that. I don't really like mainstream big titles much anymore, they bore me something fierce. F2P stuff isn't scared of trying something new, or demanding a high skill level from its players. I admit that there are advantages to both, and a PC player will miss out on certain series of games...but to save what i feel is a substantial amount of money, and have access to a lot of things that consoles do NOT have, i feel its a great trade.
