Console exclusives like Halo 5 and such.

Here is my main take. Does he have company for split screen gaming if so console for sure.

As to specific games Elder Scrolls and Fallout series they are good games on console but with mods on PC they go to that next level and become amazing and unique for many many replays.

Either it's a shitty port (I'm looking at you Dark Souls and Split Second), or they are the same. In the argument of keyboard+mouse vs controller, just throw a 360 controller into the problem, and done. Source: I used to be a console fanboy who used the controller argument

Though to be fair, the ease of use of the consoles is pretty enticing for someone with no patience to fiddle around with buggy games. Just don't expect it to look better

Any FPS, any sim-based game and any RTS/MMO - all purely based upon the fact that consoles don't natively support keyboards and mice.

Also, if you buy an Xbox One or PS4 now, he'll waste his money because more intensive games will be made for the upcoming second generation of those consoles (like how the PS3 had multiple variants) which will run worse and look worse on the older variant of the console. It's much cheaper to buy a bunch of PC parts and upgrade the GPU every 5 to 10 or so years.

I like consoles, but stick to Nintendo if you don't want to be bitten in the rear thanks to the lust for money that Sony and Microsoft has.

I use the console as a metric for RTS games, if it exists on the console I won't touch it.

Having said that, the advantage consoles have is that (mostly) you put in a game and it works. That's a big draw for a lot of people, as evidenced by how successful the console market is. If your broseph doesn't like, maybe, having to do some bug fixing, then he'd be better off with a console. If he wants to miro-manage everything and be an insufferable, arrogant asshat, then by all means, have him join us in the glorious PC Master Race

Tetris comes to mind, was never sure why but even with a controller on PC it just didnt play right.

It really comes down to what platform his friends are playing on.

unless he's got some exclusive games in mind that won't come to PC, there's no point getting a console

That's pretty much that. Bad ports are generally mediocre games to begin with (although we're still salty over Dark Souls PC being merely playable).

In general I would say that the biggest category of games lacking on PC are the party games. Traditionally, PCs have been used to play alone in front of the screen, and the available games reflect this.
