Since we have so many threads telling lies about how PC gaming costs about a billion I made this new thread so simply prove that PC gaming as a platform is the cheapest one by a country MILE.
Console gamers think that PC gaming cost so much more cause you have to shell out a little bit more at the start to get a good gaming PC. A Console such as PS3 which cost around $399 is a little bit cheaper than a good PC which can cost you about $100 to $200 more. So You can spend up to $600 to get a good PC, prices may vary depending on what hardware you get etc.
OK so you pay a little bit more at the start but the long-term cost becomes less cause you pay less for PC games. Usually this can be $10-$15 less for the same game as on consoles. $10 dosen't sound much of a saving but since you most of you will buy 20-30 maybe even 40 games during the whole generation that savings adds up alot, dependings on ammount of games you buy. Buying 30 new games on PC can save you up to $300 compared to consoles since consoles games cost more for some weird reason.
Not to mention that you can get more mileage out of PC games due to mods etc. Many games get additional content due to the online community for free. Plus PC platform can be used for everything not just gaming so in effect PC gaming is cheaper over a whole generation.
Fanboys need to get their facts straight.
