Funny how these comparisons NEVER include the annual fees you HAVE TO pay to play online. Gaming for 4 years on either console will cost you 200 dollars. I can easily spend those 200 dollars on games I actually want.

Which, if you receive a minimum of 3 games/month, means receiving 144 games for free during those 4 years. I am pretty sure you will find that value come back to in some of those games :).

I am sure I may too. Alternatively, on the PC side, I can always hunt for humble bundles, crazy Steam & GOG discounts on much bigger libraries, run countless number of emulators, guaranteed backward and forward compatibility, and do many other things besides gaming.

We can't continue to selelctively choose what "extras" to include in these type of comparisons and which "extras" we don't. 

I don't have an issue with people preferring consoles, but let's include all benefits you get from buying either and make proper comparisons before passing opinions.
