Then consider that the average consumer can't tell the difference between a $1k video card and the generic Nvidia card that came installed. It's a matter of what works for you. The fee for Xbox Live is no big deal to me, mainly because I use my Xbox for everything entertainment related. Movies, music, games... I actually spend more time using for movies than games. It seems a little more social to me as well. With a console, you can put 4 people in front of the tv to play. You can do that with a PC also, it's just not as simple, and the screen tends to be a lot smaller.
Still, I can think of about 6004 things my PC will do that my Xbox won't. It's always good to have options, though.

True. I guess the only games I really enjoyed on console were the Resident Evil series because I'm a die hard RE fan. It just seems the more popular RE got the more kind of out of hand it got. To me the best Resident Evil games were 1 & 2. They were the hardest or most challenging anyways. I also like Madden & NCAA Football, but they completely changed the controls from when it was on PS2, which to me I found stupid. I mean they basically changed something that made them popular for all the years. Now I can see changing the controls around if the controller layout was changed but it wasn't, so I refuse to play anything past NCAA Football '11 which is on PS2. It's nice to be able to play with friends at the house, but when you factor in split screen into the mix it kind of puts a ding on things, or at least to me. I have a 27" 2560 x 1440 monitor which is great resolution for me at least.
Speaking of the video cards, when some people get games and consoles they compare which console has the better graphics I laugh. When I try to put it into simple terms for people that the graphics aren't going to matter if the game is cross console they argue. What people don't realize is say the PS4 will have 105 graphics(using number solely for reference) and the Xbox one has 98 graphics. When they release a game that will be for PS4 & Xbox one, the game is going to be made for 98 graphics because it'll work across the board for both systems. Otherwise they have to start changing stuff and using a different render process. Now if a game is made strictly for that console then they utilize more of what's available. Yea if it weren't for the pay to play online and the expensive price tag on the new consoles then I'd probably consider getting one.
