I can build said PC for $450-500 (no taxes) and it would outperform the PS4 (at $425 with taxes.) 


Not with Windows included.  It still costs ~$600 to build something that matches a PS4 and isn't complete junk.  However you can build an $800-$1000 build that is twice as strong as a PS4 so that is where the price/preformance is really at.

No it doesn't. You can get windows 7 licenses for like $20-30 and then upgrade to Windows 10 for free this summer. I already provided a build that will play games much better than the Xbone and marginally better than the PS4. Sure it isn't a future-proof build in all areas, but the biggest area it isn't as upgradeable in is the CPU, and that so happens to be the consoles' weakest area.
