Because it costs like a quarter of an equivalent gaming PC, and there's actually an option for physical disc ownership unlike PC.

Honestly, buying a disc for a new game and selling it a month later is still the cheapest way to play new things without being constrained by a subscription's library. PC is excellent for old/indie stuff going cheap, but discs are awesome.
