1) These aren't really hidden fees at all. They are common sense lol - how are you going to read discs without an optical drive?!
2) Yes CHEAP PC's are not better price/perf than the PS4 (Though I would argue they are better Price/perf than the X1). A $500 PC (Because you need an OS, and case) is about as strong as a $350 PS4. HOWEVER, a $700 PC can be twice as strong as a PS4 so that's really the price you should aim for.
Prediction for console Lifetime sales:
Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million
[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]
3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m
I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
