The only PC parts I had to replace in the last decade due to failure were my BD/DVD-ROM (20 €) an my good'old Microsoft-Habu-mouse after 8 years... the new mouse costed 25 € and is even much better than the old one.
And a replacement of a broken optical drive in a console is much costlier than in a modualr PC.

You're lucky then. I bought a toshiba laptop meant for gaming for 1600 dollars. Its harddrive failed within 2 years and it would have cost approximately 600 dollars to repair it. By then I was better off to buy a new one because it was becoming obsolete anyway.
My current mid-end pc laptop cost 1000 from asus. Windows has some corrupt files which makes it impossible for me to download the latest windows installer for windows update. The stupid tech at MS strong armed to pay 100 dollars to fix their crappy windows service. No thanks, I'd rather play it until it breaks which might happen any day.
That's over 2000 dollars over the span of approximately 4 years. Absurd.
