This PC would cost around 600-650€ for max. settings. Take into account the loss the Nextbox will be sold at and you'll actually end up with comparable prices^^

What are you talking about? A HD7970, Core i7-2600k mainboard and memory already cost $700. Than you have to add a pc case and power-supply, Blu-Ray player, controller/mouse and keyboard etc. and you're at $900. And then you should probably also add a legal version of WIndows 7/8 to keep it fair so that's another $100.
All in all $900-$1000 and then you still have to build it yourself, and it will no way look as good as a console. And it doesn't matter if the Nextbox is sold at a loss, you as a customer will only pay $400 for it tops.

Are you kidding? If you don't type this from a console chances are pretty good that you already have a PC -> No need to buy a new tower, mouse, keyboard, blu-ray player (hint: DVD is still the standard) or OS (you can still use your license if you reinstall Windows). I'll give you the power supply though, this probably has to be rebought. Adds around 40€. 650-700€ total.

Well you still bought those parts sometime right? So you still spend money on it, even if it is 5 years ago. You don't have to have parts of an Xbox 360 to use the next Xbox. And that definitely counts for the Blu-ray player, since you probably didn't have one in your pc 5 years ago, or it would have been even more expensive. Sure you can say i don't need Blu-Ray, but the fact is that with the console you do get one so you have to count that in the pc build aswell(it at the very least adds Blu-Ray disc movie playback). And why i mentioned a case is was because of design. If you want something a little more compact and stylish you will have to buy something else than a tower.(and please don't say that design doesn't count, there are people that buy iMacs just for the design and only us eWindows on them).
Also i completely forgot that the next xbox is probably being shipped with a new Kinect, wich i didn't included in the price aswell.
But even if i only count the parts you mentioned i get to $750-$800, not $650-$700. Like i said, a HD7970+core i7-2600k+maindboard+8gb ram already adds up to $700. Let's say the next xbox launches at $350-$400, that's half the price of that pc even if i only count the parts you mentioned.
