Lets face it you would not see GTA5 running on a PC with a 256MB graphics card.
And this PS4 has the equivalent of a 3-4GB graphics card if the devs want.
you can get most games for £5-10 only a year after release, and you can borrow games off your mates, rent games from rental places.
Of course you could argue that you could just go full pirate on PC but as a game dev i would never condone that.

Funny. I don't recall the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 running with only 256Mb of Ram. :P
Plus, it's not a fair comparison either way, 99.9999999% of multi-platform games have better graphics right out of the box anyway, which is going to make it more demanding on the hardware.
As for Ram and graphics, I have in total 9Gb of GDDR5 Ram in my PC (Albeit, only 3Gb is actually used for games, but I can use that entire 9Gb for compute.)
However, from there developers are free to use my 32Gb of System ram however they want. :P Not that it will happen anytime soon.
Steam games can often go lower than £5 when a sale occurs, or when a good Humble bundle like the EA humble bundle that occured not long ago where you could have gotten: Dead Space 3, Dead Space, Mirrors Edge, Crysis 2, Medal of Honor, Battlefield 3, Burnout paradise, The Sims 3, Red Alert 3 and Populous for a mere $5 USD, try doing that on a console.
As for borrowing games from friends, Steam allows it.
