Well what you are saying is that PC are better since they can be used for many other things other than gaming, but economically a PC is not cheaper, a brand new console at release can cost anywhere between 300 and 500 dollars, but a PC specifically for gaming can cost you anywhere between 500-1000 dollars if its an already prebuild model (I might be wrong on the price here since I dont know shit about gaming PCs but my point stands). True there are many things a console cannot do that a PC can, but that doesnt make a PC cheaper. And besides Micro transactions are optional while the type of expensive PC needed to play AAA games is not.
