When the PS2 launched in the US for $299, gaming PCs were in the price area of $1500 - $4500... so 5x - 15x of the console price:

After 2 years a $2000 PC already got problems to run the newest PC games, even with reduced settings.

Today we are talking about ~3x the price of a new console for a PC which can play the newest games for many years.

Not really applicable. Completely different architectures and everything isn't as standardised and easy as things are now. 

Plus these consoles use the exact same x86 architecture under the hood as PC's. That wasn't the case and has only been the case since 2013.

The first Xbox had x86 architecture under the hood as PCs. It launched one year after the PS2 for $299, gaming PCs still 5x - 10x of the console price.
