Neither. It's like the pointless debates over computer peripherals vs controllers, or comparing consoles, both of which can never be won - Some games work better on consoles, others work better on PCs. There's also the issue of some games being exclusive to some platforms. You may as well be comparing colours.

EDIT: As Meech Munchie said, PCs are generally more powerful and more open-ended and you can use them for more than just playing games on, however they vary a lot and that can cause headaches for game developers, as JAW found out with their earlier attempts at porting Stranger.

Consoles, while being less powerful and with more limitations than PCs, are generally cheaper, don't need as much technical know-how to run and maintain, and are standardized, which makes them easier to develop for.

Pros and cons for each, neither is better.
