Well yahh pc market spends more on hardware, you payed 2k for hardware to play a inferior version of a game i play on a $300 console. Makes no sense to me but to each their own.
Where do the game sale most ? says enough to me.

Exactly how to you figure that out?,a 500$ PC got today would easy outperfom the PS4 when it comes to 3rd party games and does (Unless you think cos batman = all games?? if so thats just silly). Also i have never ever spend 2k on my pc but i love how thats always the defence stance with console only gamers. It costs like 2k to outperfom my 300 console, You cant plug your pc into your tv (Even when thats what im using mine on now) you cant use joypads etc etc. So many mis facts and lies gets spread by console only gamers against pc its not even funny just sad...

Bullshit.... I just assambled a fairly good, mid-end PC worth 800 euros, and guess what, it has issues running Witcher 3 on highest settings in 1080p. Of course, the guy could have opted for a cheaper mask, smaller HDD and no SSD, but then what the fuck are we talking about? Truth is, if you want a gaimg rig (and only the rig itself) that lasts you 3 years for gaming and get some work squeezed out on it, get ready to spend some 1000 euros.
I am not saying it is a bad investment, but it is a fact that hardware wise a gaming PC is far more expensive then a console. And a 500$ PC is a low-end garbage bin, that you should be ready to invest in in a year or so. I love PC gaming, and I probably played more on PC then consoles in the last 3-4 years, but lets be honest here. Games are cheaper, true, but so are used or older games on consoles...

Sorry that you live in Europe, I've heard prices there for PC parts are absolute shit and you have my condolences.

We do have fairly high prices. BUT as a Romanian, I can at least say that we have the second fastest internet connections on averege on the globe  And for peanuts too

Yeah, the US is too stupid big as one country, I wish we all had fiber everywhere here, but ATT, being a corporation as they are, won't activate most of them even though they own pretty much all of them across the country. I mean it's so bad in the States that some people in rural areas are just now getting shitty satellite internet lol. Gotta be in major cities or more populated areas or you are screwed with internet here. How are the console prices in Europe BTW? About the same as the US or higher? It's hard to make a comparison unless we have numbers from different regions and that really changes things. In the US, it's currently better to just get a PC because the prices are good if you know how to hunt for parts and use old Windows licenses to upgrade to Windows 10, I don't know how it compares to the rest of the world though.

Pretty overpriced, unfortunatly. Last year I was hunting for a 3DS XL and new, it was almost 300$.
At the current exchange rate the 1TB PS4 is ~ 450$ while the 500GB is ~ 400$. The PS3 is ~ 210$. The Xone is ~ the same price ( a bit more expensive the 1TB model) as the PS4, and games are ~ 5$ more expensive then in the rest of the world. And keep in mind, we are talking about a country that is still strugling to reach the 600$ avrege monthly income, a value that is extremely sqewed.
So yeah, we are fucked when it comes to gaming. Everything is overpirced. Luckily, piracy is pretty much accepted as standard, and never in my life have I seen a crackdown, since the bootleg CD period, when only people who had on them thousands of pirated software ready for sale, would be rarely caught. I think I am one of the few people who I know who actually buys games fromn the store, but slowly people are starting to open up their wallets.
Edit: price typo.
PS: If Im lucky this year I might finally buy a new 3DS XL at 230$ new...
