A PS4 equivalent rig for $500.00?

The comparison is a bit off. PS4 costs more than $400 to make and assemble and has discounts on every part because of mass production, you buy parts where the stores want to make money with their products so of course it is close to impossible to reach it currently.
You should wait until AMD releases their new APU generations which should be close on par with PS4 and perhaps go for steam-os.
But who buys systems for specs?!

Sill I heard it costs roughly $470 to make I believe, but I found an Interesting article about this exact comparison.

 

Yes but the costs sum up with what I wrote in my post. The comparison is rather invalid.

Again, people should wait for future APU releases from AMD and will have a better PS4.
