How not? I think its pretty clear.

 

PS4 = $400 + $1800 (30 games) = $2,200

PC = ~$1,500 (games are available at no cost)

So your $400 box ends up costing much more over the long run than the PC.

So, ultimately what you're saying is as long as you pirate, game sales shouldn't count towards the cost of the device.

 

Of course. Theres three sets of PC gamers; those who buy, those who pirate, those who do both.

However I think a large enough percentage falls in to the piracy group that if we're comparing lifetime cost of console vs PC we should consider that for those that pirate on PC, which is impossible or near impossible to do on PS4, the cost is actually much cheaper to buy a high end gaming rig over the long term. That's just being honest with reality.
