I'm willing to make the sacrifice to play it on a console. Because in the long run, I'm going to get 8-10 years out of a console, sometimes longer. At least I'm seeing it the same way everyone else on a console is seeing it. So equal gaming experience with the majority + longer hardware life + lower cost> better graphic experience with the minority + initial investment cost.
So you build a bargain gaming rig to run equivalent of what the consoles run. Figure what, $500-600? In 5 years, I'm still getting game development on my console without having to upgrade it. In 5 years, I will once again need another bargain bin at $500 to continue gaming at a comparable experience.
Are you buying Alienware's? I'm having a hard time figuring out where you're getting your prices from. My PC I just built for ~$700 runs everything I've thrown at it at 60 fps on Ultra, and I spent $100 extra to have a second monitor because I use it for work and school also and its nice to have the extra screen space. That wasn't an expense needed for gaming. I didn't have to spend anything near the prices you're throwing out.
My PC will be "bargain bin" in 5 to 10 years, but it certainly isn't now. There won't be a console on par with it until the PS6, and that may be being generous. I have an R9 290X, FX8350, 500gb SSD, 16gb ram (2400), a 750w power supply, and some extras I didn't need but wanted like a nice case and a Razer mouse and keyboard. I'm still using a wired 360 controller for games I'd rather play with a controller than a mouse. And on top of being far superior for gaming, its also running Kodi and serves as my HTPC. The PS4 and Xbox One can be used as media centers, but they are nowhere near as good at it.
I bought my PS4 for $400, and I've bought 12 games. Not all of them were $59.99 but if we even said half were, which is less than the real number, that's $760 I've spent on PS4 gaming. I bought a second controller and a charge station so its actually higher, but those were optional so I won't count them. I've paid exactly $0 on PC games so I've already outspent my PS4 budget and that's not including future games I haven't bought yet for PS4, while my PC game budget will never go above $0 because I'm fine with being immoral.
I do have a Wii U and a PS4 because they both offer something my PC doesn't, being a unique Nintendo experience and online play with my friends for the PS4, but if I only could have 1 its the PC hands down. Far better performance, far better value. Not even close.
And finally, console games run the best they can. If that's 1080p 60fps, great. If it's 30fps, great. If it's 980p or whatever, great. If I get it on the PC, I want it to run exactly the same way it would on the console; at the max resolution/settings possible. And then if you want that, you're out thousands of $.
This is a falsehood I wish people would stop spreading. This couldn't be further from the truth, and hasn't been true in a decade. The PC that was 5 years old that I just sold could have been put together today for less than the price of a PS4/X1 and run games nearly twice as well. Stop it.
