I was going to say that your friend sounds like a dyed in the wool PC gamer which would explain why he hates console exclusives. No other explanation need be given.

Naturally, anyone who invests their money into a decent custom gaming PC, or more of their money to build a high end PC is going to be a bit peeved when their box can't play certain games. So the typical response will either be to attack the policy of using certain games to sell consumers on proprietary hardware systems, or to simply attack the games themselves in an attempt to invalidate their value.

I'm not really sure where your friend is coming from if he's using an old, outdated PC. That said, $400 wouldn't buy much PC if one had to start from scratch, so if anything, a console would look like the better option, assuming it was only being used for games (unlikely), unless said individual had a sizable library of games on Steam or any other PC game service.

Of course it still boils down to the games any individual tends to play. If all someone played was WoW or LoL, any console would be a pretty big waste of time and money.
