To be honest you're not exactly playing it safe with consoles either. There are many games that either don't even appear on consoles or they get fuck-all support compared to the PC version, such as Minecraft which is over a year behind in updates (and also suffers from plenty of other technical limitations) or Payday 2 which gets no updates on Xbox whereas it's updated about three times a month with tons of new content and balance tweaks on Steam. The only thing that's really "safe" in consoles is that it's less configuration and that you don't have to be as aware and acknowledged of the in-depth. It comes with a cost though, more than just "slightly better graphics". I won't bother to give the full list here but there's a lot of reasons.

However, in terms of Call of Duty, consoles are a much better choice because the development is so Xbox-biased.
