Before I begin, I must state that this is UNBIASED. I honestly don't care what you play games on. If you're playing games then that's better than not playing games.
Also, this won't include the Switch because there aren't that many games for it yet.
You may be asking yourself: "Hm, I want to play games, but I don't know what platform I should buy." Don't worry, it's quite a common question. However, it can be quite confusing because you'll find many different answers like, "you should buy a(n) xbone/ps4/PC." However, there is no set correct answer to this problem, so I came up with a list of benefits for each to help you decide which is best for you.
Disclaimer: If you decide to go the route of PC, I would recommend building it yourself. The task may seem daunting at first, but with about a month of researching "how to build a PC" and "PC Build for (month that you're in of the year that you're in)".

Benefits of PC:
- Multi-purpose. You can use a PC for more than just playing games.
- No monthly/yearly subscription. You don't have to pay $60 a year to use online features.
- Customization. You can make your PC look however you want.
- Cheaper games. Generally, you can buy games for much less for PC. Additionally, sales (especially on Steam) are quite common.
- In-game Mods. Since you have a PC, you can install fan-made creations posted online. Some of them are quite beneficial for some games.
- More options for control. You can use kb/m, controller, racing wheel, flight sticks, ect.
- Options for multiple monitors. You can usually use many monitors with a PC in comparison to the Xbone/PS4's single screen support.
- The building experience. I find it quite fun to create what I play on using my bare hands.
- Upgradable. If a new game comes out that you like, but your system can't handle it, then you can always just buy a single new part, rather then buying a console and eventually having to buy a completely new console.
- Indie games. There are lots of indie games for PC because it's the easiest to develop for.
- TF2. It's free and it has provided me with hundreds of hours of entertainment.
- Cheaper starting cost. Generally, (not always), it costs less to buy a console then to buy a PC.
- Console exclusives. Games like Forza, The Last of Us, Destiny, Ect.
- PS4 early release games. Often companies make deals with Sony so that games can only be released on PS4 until a certain date.
- Quick setup. Plug it in, and you're done.
