I say this because a decent gaming PC cost $1000 and does not last half the lifetime of a console sorry its the truth playstation 3 came out in November of 2006. what gaming laptop will last seven years let me know? it must be noted that ps3 will probably be supported for an additional 2 years bringing its total viable gaming life cycle to 9 years.
Here is the trick. Goto Delloutlet[dot]com, buy a decent PC for under 300 bucks, buy a sub 200 dollar video card and BOOM you have a decent gaming machine for 500 bucks.
A lot of people don't realize that if you only upgrade the video card and maybe the memory you will have a solid gaming PC until hardware failure or until certain methods (i.e. when PCI-E replaced AGP) are un available.

The difference between $281 a year and $422 a year is moot to me. An average of an extra $141 is not going to stop me.

Ok so let's clarify something.
A) Developing on PS4 has been streamlined and many elite developers have said that it is far easier to develop on the PS4 than it has been in the past. It is closer to developing for PC or XBOX
B) Gaming consoles isn't so much about logic as much as it is about culture. It is a culture. If consoles never came out again I can guarantee you a percentage of people would never EVER play games on the PC or maybe ever again.
C) This whole PC is better than Console thing is moot. As far as a system is concerned they are different. A PC has multiple functionalities that the console does not so it SHOULD cost more. That being said, you have to use a hardware optimizer to get the most out of the PC through software. Consoles don't have to do this. This is why consoles can have comparable graphics to PC's with lower quality hardware. Consoles are dedicated for one thing so 99% of hardware resources are reserved for gaming as opposed to a PC which is a little over 50% unless you know what you are doing. At that point you can get it to about 70
% of hardware resources.
This argument just doesn't make sense. They are, literally, two different things that basically do things differently with different purposes.
