From Wikipedia:
Video game console emulators are programs that allow a personal computer or video game console to emulate another video game console. They are most often used to play older video games on personal computers and more contemporary video game consoles, but they are also used to translate games into other languages, to modify existing games, and in the development process of home brew demos and new games for older systems.
Thus, emulators are used so that you can play console games on your PC. Why? Because many of those games are a lot of fun.
