If you can afford both, why not? I would state exclusives as the main reason. In my case also for gaming with my friends who don't do PC gaming.

I would never befriend a console only gamer in the first place

Playstation exclusives are great, I've never been actually interested in the Xbox exclusives. If you really want to get a console, get the PS4, because the multiplayer is free, and, at least in my opinion, its exclusives are way cooler, but if you're not interested in those titles, then just stick only to your rig. 4670K and GTX 780 is great  :D

None have enticed me, maybe some on the wii u, thats about it

 

Then why do you need us to answer?

 

There is no reason to feel like you HAVE to get one, at the end of the day it is a box that plays computer games, if the one you have does the job fine and plays the games you want to play there is no reason to buy other boxes

 

I for one will be getting all the consoles because some of the exclusives I do not want to miss out on, If those games were on PC then I would not bother picking them up (except I would still have a 3ds and vita as those are hand helds and have unique games)

Desktop - Corsair 300r i7 4770k H100i MSI 780ti 16GB Vengeance Pro 2400mhz Crucial MX100 512gb Samsung Evo 250gb 2 TB WD Green, AOC Q2770PQU 1440p 27" monitor Laptop Clevo W110er - 11.6" 768p, i5 3230m, 650m GT 2gb, OCZ vertex 4 256gb,  4gb ram, Server: Fractal Define Mini, MSI Z78-G43, Intel G3220, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, 4x 3tb WD Reds in Raid 10, Phone Oppo Reno 10x 256gb , Camera Sony A7iii
