xbox controllers are mostly plug and play for windows 8/10
the actual advantage PC has in my opinion is:
When your machine gets obsolete, if you're using a console (assuming you're not rich to just buy the newest one) you'll probably need to sell the old one so you can use the money you got from selling it to buy a new one. But most consoles arent backwards compatible, so you'll have to get rid of your games too. (Which probably won't be worth 60% as much as when you bought them)
for pc you just change your VGA, and if things get too heavy, add more ram. And you can keep playing the old games you had. This + cheaper games makes a huge difference in the end, and that's actually the only ADVANTAGE pc has. (4k resolution and shit isnt advantage, that's bonuses)
