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

Because there exist people who don't want console exclusives as much as you do. You aren't the only type of console gamer. There are also people who might enjoy PC exclusives more, and have distanced themselves from PC gaming because of myths they've heard. People don't just buy consoles because they prefer the exclusives. Otherwise there would be no point in an Xbone gamer trying to persuade a PS4 gamer to choose an Xbone instead, or vice-versa. 

Then write an article about how to build a cheap PC and don't bring consoles into it. There's absolutely no point in showing how you can build a PC for the same price as a console but then end up with something that can't play console exclusive games. It's ludicrous and I wonder why it has become a thing. Why would you even do that? Most PC owners I know build the best PC they can so they can play PC games at the best resolution and the best framerates. Why would you cripple that potential by building a PC to match the price of a console? It's really odd.

The same can be said for the PS4 vs. Xbone. But people still argue that one is better than the other, and they are vastly closer platforms than PC is to either of them. And why would I cripple that potential? Because I'm not rich and I'm quite fine with the performance of a mid-ranged PC. There is much more to PC gaming than performance. I made a huge list already about that.
