Battlefield 3 on pc or console? Points for best answer!?

Should i get BF3 for pc? or for console? As far as i am aware my rig can handle it no problem i just want to get it where the most active player base is. I'm just worried the game may be dying off at this point since it's been out for awhile now. Also will it be insanely hard for a newbie to lvl/rank up this late in the games life? I just want to get my monies worth! thank you for your time!

    Definitely get it for PC:

    -The community is much larger

    -Both consoles struggle to run BF3 and often freeze mid-game, I have found this is particularly bad with my Xbox.

    -Lobbies support more players and vehicles

    As far as the game's remaining lifespan I would not worry, it has only been out about 13 months and it doesn't look like the next game will be coming too soon.

    PC. Trust me, PC. So many glitchers and dumb noobs on console, which is why im moving to PC anyways. I played both PC and console, and PC is so much better. What do you want, 64 on 64, or 24 on 24? PC is better. Period.
