Huge community, freedom, user mods, user maps, you aren't chained to your box or the dictates of the company, chained to DLCs, buying whatever crap consoles shove at you, you already own a computer most likely, why not spend a little extra to be able to play the best games. The ability to make your own maps, mods, or even make your own games with game editors. You have freedom to use whatever hardware you choose, freedom to use mouse, keyboard, or any controller you choose, play on any display you want, have multiple displays and games that span 3 displays, 3D display already supported, etc.
When have you done this on your console?
Or been able to make your own games or anything you want with the included tools and resources.
One of the best part of SC2 right now is the user made games, you can goto custom games and there are tons of random user made games from Tower Defense games to Starcraft Chess to racing games, to RPGs, and even a 2D sidescrolling beat-em-up all made with the Starcraft engine and resources.
I also wonder why anybody would play games on a console, it's a like a ball and chain.
If you already own a mid to decent PC, just put a graphics card in and you can play most games. It's likely already your media center. It's also where you do your work, browsing, surf, CP, etc. why not do it all in once place? On the one piece of equipment in your home that you have the freedom to make it do almost anything you want.
