PCs cost more than consoles but the cheap games make up for the price. That's literally it. Why's this so hard for some people to understand?

Implying every console digital store has eshop pricing in 2014

Digital console games in the UK seem to be between £50 and £65, whilst on Steam the same games are generally £30-40. I don't think there's really any denying that on the whole, PC games are much cheaper than console games. However consoles do for the most part offer the simplicity of not having to fiddle around with settings to get the best performance you can as they're pre optimised to your hardware.
