and is the most expensive


Not necessarily true. PS3 launch price was $500. I built my PC 2 years ago for $600. With a new $200 video card, I can easily surpass the capability of the PS4 and XB1, using my current box.

So thats $800 spent over 2 generations for my PC to remain more powerful than any console system, whereas the PS3 was $500, and eventually came down to a lower pricepoint average of $400. Plus the new PS4 at $400 = $800. Thus, my more powerful PC costs the same that most of the Sony fans paid/will pay for over 2 generations.

but the PS3 is very well known to have been expensive, also you are talking about the price of the console when launched, and comparing it to the price of your PC when you bought it 2 years ago about 5 years after the console was released, the price of the ps3 back then was 250$, not 500$. 

im not against PC gaming, as i do own a very strong PC. the amount of money i spent on my PS3+games doesnt even come up to the same price as my PC alone (though, my PC is very strong ) . with used games, renting games and not buying games at launch gaming on a console can be done for very cheap (dont include the X1 in this statement)

 

the question is, could you get a PC as strong as the PS4 now for 399$? i really doubt it
