But if I was on pc I wouldn't be subscribed to ps plus which gives me so many free games for just 50 euro a year. That's insane value. I have a backlog of ps plus games alone (only counting the ones I like).
And on top of that the pc would use more electricity than the ps4. People always forget that which adds up to a fair amount every year in extra bills.
Aswell as that we can trade in our games so there's that if you are not all digital.

IF we are going to go with Free games PC has plenty of them and some of the biggest in the world too such as TF2, Dota, SWTOR, EvE, LoL, etc.
Then you can sign up to Origin access for like 4 euro a month or the is a bunch of other subscription services on the PC for about the same price that offers 1000's of Paid pc games. Thing is on PC its optional and your not forced into it to play online.
And are you really using electricty bills as an advantage?, this just shows me how far PC gaming has come if this is now an advantage.
Since your using traded games as an advantage i guess i should tell you PC users can also pirate if they like, Sure they will miss out on online or be stuck playing with other pirates but the option is still there, devs still lose money in both cases.
Then you have options on the PC to refund your game many smaller games can be played within 2 hours (Dirty tactic i know)
The is also Emulation on PC so your have your whole backlog of console games to choose from and play even if your original is broke.

Console gamers can also pirate. See the ps3, ps2, PS3, Xbox 360 etc. Emulators work there aswell.
You could have w pc that costs you $200 extra a year In electricy bills over a console. That's a lot.
And I wasn't talking about free to play games. They don't come with ps plus. Only paid games.
Humble bundle are also starting on console now aswell as many of the formerly pc only free to play games. This week for example star trek online came out.
You can say pc players generally get them first but you can say that about many AAA titles being late to PC. Gta V a good example. Out long before on ps3 and even ps4. Red dead still hasn't been ported and FFXV is another example coming up.
Ps3/ps4 also have insane deals between USA / EU psn. I've bought most of my games in thr last 2 years for $3-$5. So sales aren't exclusive to PC.
The entry price will always favour consoles. the ps4 slim will get down to $199 before the gen is over and the 4k pro will get down to under $300 at least.
Next year PS4 will cross 70/75m sold after just 4 years. The mass market loves pc but it also loves consoles as the sales show. They see it as a great value and hassle free entry into gaming. Buying the box, plug it in and play. Easy.
