If you are going to bring prices into the discussion, then you need to know that consoles being cheaper than the PC is false.

Games are far more expensive on console, you pay for online. - Over the life of the system you are paying a premium, that's despite the PC's initial higher hardware costs.

Depends. If you're just playing games on PS Plus, you never buy a game, you just pay 5 $ a month and you're good to go. Of course, you don't have the free choice of games, but you also don't have a free choice with offerings like steam summer sales or those humble bundles. If we are talking about retail games, PC games aren't that much cheaper nowadays, at least in germany. Most new titles sell for 50 €, while some big titles (Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Sim City for example) sell for 60 €, the exact same price of console games. For The Last of Us, I paid 49 €, day one. the price advantage of retail titles on PC is as good as gone around here. 

In the end, it all comes down to games. There the PC still has advantages, as there are almost no strategy games or business simulations on consoles. Also, most small titles are PC exclusive because the developers just can't afford licensing costs for consoles. On the other hand, you have those AAA console exclusives. Everyone just needs to know for himself what games he prefers or just buy mutliple systems. 

I personally am having a great time right now with Papers, please.
