I read an article that a MS spokeperson said that the equivelant PC would cost around 2000 USD

 

Edit, it was Mike Ybarra, and 1500 USD

$2000 or $1500 if you paid either of those prices and ended up with a PC that was running a cpus as weak ass as the one in the Xbox one x, you'd have been scammed badly.

You have to remember consoles are also closed platforms meaning developers can get more out of the cpu and gpu compare to a PC.
