Well the games themselves are cheaper on PC but not the hardware itself which is a lot more expensive. And also I have the impression that there are less exclusive on PC. Typically most of PC games are ported on console, and consoles have more exclusives. Except for MMOs.


Not really no.  The MOST powerful PC's will cost more then consoles by quite a lot....

but to build an equivlent to a console?


A lot of the times it ends up cheaper if your smart about it.


PSX revenue is way lower then i would of thought for software.... what gives?

Go ahead and create one. Mustn't cost more than $399 and pack the same punch as the PS4.

Go!


Call back in about a year.  That's about how long it took before it was cheaper to buy a computer off the shelf that was more powerful then a PS3/360.

Also $399?  Shouldn't that be more like...  $699, considering ~5 years of paying for online?    PS+ gets you a lot of free games sure.  So does, just owning a PC.  (Or PS4, though not nearly as many F2P will be on there.) 

Outside which, try back in about a year.  That's about how long it too to build a cheaper PC.  (Let alone waiting for the right deals on individual parts etc)

Right now, you can do it for a lot cheaper then you could of PS3 at launch.   When new hardware releases?

This of course is assuming you don't already have a PC you can caniblize for parts.  (Which you probably do.  Even if it's a beater.)
