People list all kinds of reasons, but it's really dead simple.
1. They don't have the funds for it. Fair enough. Even though you can get a lot more out of even a budget PC than an Xbone, the full spectrum advantage of a gaming PC comes when you put a bit more in. Granted it's still a much better deal in the long run, the cost of entry can be scary for some. Understandable.
2. Just plain ignorance. This is where someone cries elitist, but that's not how it is at all. We all want to enjoy gaming at its best. Of course the kind of gamer who chooses an XboneX thinks they're getting exactly that. They're not choosing a far inferior platform on purpose, they simply don't understand the massive gulf between a system like that and a proper gaming PC. They haven't experienced it to know.
I find you have to communicate this to console only gamers in a way they understand, something they can relate to. So imagine you have one gamer who only owns an Atari 2600. Then you have another gamer who owns a NES, Master System, SNES, and a Genesis. It's fairly obvious who has the better gaming experience all around. The guy who only has a 2600 can talk about what he prefers all day, but get real, that's some clown nonsense.
But that's the kind of gulf we're talking about here. At a certain point preference moves on from being a matter of opinion to become something laughable.
Of course some poor fool will come along and claim he has some amazing PC, but still prefers the Xbone. Ok. Only two kinds of people say that. Liars and masochists. So have at it.
