Now here is where I see a flaw in your claim. You can build a PC for $500 that can mimic the PS4 specs. I guarantee you that your $500 PC will have poor performance playing new games 5 years later. PS4 games will be optimise and have better performance without needing to spend for upgrades.

Try building a PC with PS3 specs and run MW3 or MW4 on it. You'll see what I mean.


Considering you can't buy hardware that's equivalent to a PS3/Xbox 360, that point is now moot.

However, if you bought a Core 2 Quad at the start of the PS3/360 generation and game at equivalent settings, the cost of online access alone could have kept you gaming just fine.
Heck, even the "next generation" console multiplatforms run on such a system just fine (For now at-least) and you didn't have to drop hundreds of bucks to achieve that, just a $30-$60 GPU upgrade.

PC is always cheaper in the long run, developers also get larger profits due to not only giving the publishers a large cut, but Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo too.

But here is Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 running on a console equivalent PC:

Or hows about Crysis 2?

Metro 2033 even?

Skyrim on even worse-specs than a console? (Single Core CPU, Radeon x1650)

Battlefield 4 with a $30 GPU.

The PC is extremely scalable, you can go up or down.
For instance take Oblivion for example, if you alter the shaders and get some low-poly model replacements and scale down all the effects you could get it running on origional Xbox class hardware (Geforce 3 and Pentium 3), the reverse holds true aswell where you can scale the image quality so it surpasses the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

 

 


Those games is struggling on those cards, and the setting are on low plus they might be overcloked.  All you did was just help me prove my point even further. And you even showed Skyrim on a Pentium 4 that looks like shit lol.
