A high quality PC will cost about 700-1000 dollars while a high end console will cost 400-500 dollars.
PC's require new hardware to be bought every 6 months (ie graphics cards, RAM expansion etc) while consoles do not. So that burns at least another 200-300 dollars right there.
The graphics between pc and high end consoles is not at a big enough gap to convince me to spend an extra 500-700 dollars for a high end gaming PC that will just need new hardware in about 6 months thus costing me more.
