Seeing as that the majority of users buy PS+, it matters not. Also, games are better in gameplay due to mods (Skyrim, GTA, Fallout, Minecraft to name some popular ones). And the most popular games are least graphically demanding, yes. They also happen to be the most popular games in the world. Are we going to discount the PS4's power just because Towerfall is one of the most popular games?

None of which are on the PS4 currently. Obviously Mods make it better, but its not only preferential its also not possible on the platform unless every PS4 was a dev kit. As far as retail is concerned, they are identical in gameplay. And the majority of users by PS+ not for online multiplayer alone, but for its various other benefits. None of the games I have with the exception of the free games I got for having PS+, require PS+ to function even online. When I finally get Watch_Dogs, it will be the first.

Yes for those who are lucky, and can easily upgrade their tower with a 200 dollar graphics card, assuming there setup allows for it, those games are cheaper. But for my 3 year old, 700 dollar laptop that I bought for school, manages to play all of last gen better than consoles, but struggles to hit 25 fps for Watch_Dogs at lowest settings, I can't do that, so I bought a 400$ ps4 instead of a 800$ pc and I'm payed 50$ for PS+ cause I dont have that kind of cash right now.

Which is fine. Gaming PCs aren't the best for everyone. But let's not pretend that they aren't superior in many ways. Consoles do some things better, PCs do other things better. I personally love mods, and seeing as that the next Fallout and Elder Scrolls will almost certainly support mods, PC is the only platform I will consider for the game. Same with most multiplatform games- they look better on PC. Even if it is just looks, it's still an advantage.
