It is impossible for me to get a PC for the same price as even the xb one plus Kinect with the same gaming capability as PS4. And the nature of consoles is designed can get better performance from from the hardware.
But considering that I would pay X for a basic PC for the non gaming functions I need then that price should be excluded and then I should consider the cost necessary to get from basic PC to decent (i.e. mid range) gaming PC. I can probably achievebtuat for a similar price, or possibly slightly less than the price of PS4. But if I want a high quality gaming rig then that will be way more expensive than a console, even if I remove the base price of a non-gamer PC.
