I think he is confounding two different thing.  What PC gamers argue is that the long-run cost of Pc hardware+ games+zero online fees is cheaper.

Price is irrelevant. No one goes for PC over consoles because there are no online fees or because games are cheaper. It's just a stupid argument for people who need reinforcement for their choice.

We can sit here all day and count all the pros and cons but that only shows that there are a lot more things to consider than raw data.

You are wrong. I game on Pc because it is cheaper for me. I have about 350 pc games which cost me about $1500 over eight years. I doubt console gamers can say they got 40 games a year on average for $220 a year on average. I have never spent a dime for online except mmo subs. I spent about $1200 on hardware/os in that time, but I used said hardware for my computing needs. A console gamer still needs to purchase a Pc of some type. I choose to combine the two in order to save costs. Ive always had mid end cads too, so better graphics was never a huge motivator. Better gameplay and cheaper long term costs are why I am a PC only gamer this generation while I owned all platforms last generation.
