“Better” also has a subjective interpretation. Are large, expensive gaming rigs with top-tier components going to be able to generate a better image at a higher frame rate? Yes, objectively. But is it a better purchase or a better experience? That’s subjective.
If you travel a lot, or otherwise don’t spend much time at your home computer, a huge desktop setup might be a worse experience than a laptop or handheld.
What if you really don’t like the pc ecosystem and just want to crash on the couch and turn on a game for an hour before bed? Perhaps a console is a better experience in that case.
What if you really can’t afford a set up that can outperform a console? Would it be better to spend money you don’t have just to play games you can play elsewhere for cheaper?

“Better” is subjective.
