go for it, as an older gamer console gaming is superior to PC gaming in a time/gaming standpoint imo. I just pop in a game and play, don't have to deal with downloading the latest video drivers, trying to figure out why the game won't run in borderless windowed, why its using the onboard video instead of my GTX card, why my anti virus software won't let me launch the game, etc. Plus I don't spend a few hours tweaking settings instead of just playing.
Yeah as a young guy it was awesome tweaking games exactly the way I want and I could notice the difference between 60 fps and 30 fps and 1440 and 1080p and this jaggy pixel over here annoyed the fuck out of me but now that i'm old and senile I can't tell the difference between anything anymore so its all good. I'm like Al Bundy without glasses, and Peg is my PS4.
one thing I'd say is get best buy GCU, its $30/2 years (sometimes goes on sale, like free with a new console or game) and gives you 20% flat discount on all new games. Best Buy also offers $10 promo on preorders for big AAA games, so I end up effectively paying $40 for new games. I play for 2-4 weeks, and trade them back into best buy for $35-44. I can essentially rent new games for free from them, with PC since everything is digital you are stuck with it once you buy it. There are also fantastic deals on consoles now, like a new PS4 with one or two free games for $300-349.
best new games i'd say : Uncharted Collection, Bloodborne, The Last of Us, GTA 5, Metal Gear Solid 5, Destiny, Mad Max, Rocket League, Witcher 3, Diablo 3. Those will keep you occupied for the next year, not to mention Fallout 4 and Final Fantasy 15. Half of these are console exclusive too. Only thing I'd say is get an xbox one if you love Halo, sports games, or have a lot of friends with xbox one. EA Access is only on xbox one and for $30/yr gives you like a dozen games for free, most of them sports games.
that said I do still pick up a few games on PC, my steam library is 1500+ strong thanks to humblebundle and bundlestars. Also exclusives like Pillars of Eternity, Divinity Original Sin, Wasteland 2, Star Citizen, etc although almost all of them (minus SC) are coming to console too nowadays.
