GameSpot tried to build a Pc which costs around the same as a console.

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.

Not sure about UK but here i see steam games at 60 euros, and psn at the same prices. I got TLOU:R and Infamous SS for 20 euros each 2 weeks ago, so less than one year old games at 33% price.

There are "less" sales, but there are also less games (mostly bc indies and older games), so it's pretty much the same IMO
