if theres one thing i learned from actually putting a PC together, its that you can not actually compare the two. consoles games are always better optimized, and with PC you always have to ask yourself if there is a slightly better part you could get for a few bucks more. the ecosystems are so different that it really is impossible to do a proper spec/price comparison.

Yeah I have to agree with this.  The optimisations on console games is the really big plus.  Developers know exactly what people will have and that makes it much easier on them. 

One big upside to the PC is free online, and a wealth of exclusives (mostly smaller, niche titles, but good games in their own right).
Over the course of a generation, the money you save on not paying for online, almost buys you your next PC / upgrade.
