No.

When people say PCs they seem to forget that majority of the PCs out there can't even run games at the current settings of a PS4.

The majority of consoles out there also can't run games at the current settings of a PS4. ;)

Going by the Steam statistics there should be around 25 - 30 million gaming PCs (with graphic cards like GTX 670 + 760 + Radeon HD 7900-series + R9-series) which can run games at the current settings of a PS4, so it's in the same ballpark as the sold PS4 units.

As far as current gen consoles go, the majority if those happen to be a ps4. And as for PCs? 25-30M. sounds comparable to the PS4 no doubt. But if you want to put that number into perspective, that's 25-30M of how many million PCs?

I know you're just giving an example, but... How would you even build a $4000 PC? Like, what would be in it? Whatever's in there, you'd probably need a 4k TV to really make use of it. Make sure its 120, too.

OT: I would say no. While there are some games on PC that could reasonably be considered "next-gen," *coughstarcitizencough* by the large PC games(running on $500-1000 systems) are just marginally prettier than console games, with much higher frame rates. It's better, but not "next gen" better, IMO.

Believe me, you can make a $4000 PC. Throw in 2-3 of certain $1000 GPUs,  a certain type of CPU, the right amount of high end ram, sad, water cooling and a pcu to handle all that. And you will be hitting $4000 in no time.
