That's true, unless you buy a Wii U which is $300 and free online.

since you want to throw a spanner in the works i will to your statement too. 

 

or you could buy a ps3 with a much better library and cheaper games,  with free online,  for $200.

Or you can buy a cheaper PC and strictly play older games. Since the PC was up to date in the examples, I was under the impression we were talking strictly up to date PC and consoles. The fact is that cost is usually inversly proportional to age up to a certain point.

the difference between wiiu and ps3 is significantly smaller than the jump from gaming pc to wiiu. 

True, the only difference is that if you want to be buying a lot of new games 2-3 years later, the PS3 may not be the best choice.
