1. No - consoles are sold cheaper and make money back on games being $60/£40+. Games on the PC are much cheaper and so are monitors compared to TVs.

2. A cheap £100 gpu will outstrip a console, and these $1000 gpus are so powerful compared to the games you cant see the difference between those gpus and a $250 gpu...unless running at 4k.

3. Consoles are better for casual/social gaming adue to ease and location (the lounge). PCs do more (Office) and are far more powerful.

Not all of what you said is true. And doesn't even tie to why this thread ws made. 

The points you are disagreeing with aren only relevant if you can explain why disagreeing with them ties into what this thread is actually about.

here is a quote from my OP. And what this thread is really about. 

"Anyone that remotely know how I post will have gathered that I am strongly against this very type of comparisons. Thats primarily because I believe they are usually always done unfairly and unrealistically. So I made this thread to explain exactly why. Now I am invitng all the PC guys here and the console guys to agree or disagree with my reasoning."


Erm, and my points explain why such reasoning is flawed. You wanted to see if people agreed or not, and I disagreed then explained why such comparisons are biased. 1) people forget that consoles have other costs comared to PCs (explained) 2) Gpu point was odd. People simply do not understand how powerful modern gpus are and any comparison of console gpus vs PC gpus is flawed (explained) 3) Use of PCs and consoles is different and cater for different markets. That is just true.

So if that isn't right, then I think you need to clarify your point a bit more.
