I slightly disagree with that.
In the long run, it will cost significantly less.

Xbox 360 was like $400 and lasted over 6 years. People with PCs have most likely spent way more than $400 on upgrades in the last 6 years.
Xbl - $50 a year x 7 years = $350
Plus consider all the money you save with pc games sales. Also consider buying new accessories every console.
If you build your pc smartly, you could save money in the long run.

I was just talking about the consoles themselves. And you *might* be able to save money in the long run, but it would be a much larger initial investment.
What's your parts list if you don't mind me asking? I'll help you pick parts if you need help but I was just interested in what you picked.Well my pc im building cost me $900. 3570k I can overclock past 4.0ghz easy and have a 7970. It'll last me 4-5 years before I need to get another gpu and by then the 7970 will probably be like $200. That will last me plenty more years to come.
X1 cost $500 + $250 for Xbl (5 years) and add everything else it becomes very close if not more.
It is most definitely an upfront investment, but like I said as long as you build your PC smart and get games on sale. It can end up being cheaper. Plus you get to play games at a higher quality and can do everything a computer can while a console is just a console.
Edit: and don't forget the backwards compatability!

Nice build. The only thing I would've changed would be the case but you already changed it. Every part you picked is pretty much the best for its price. Nice work.Everything has been bought, just waiting for the last few parts to show up. Picked up the 7970 on sale for $300 (after $20 MiR)

Various things I got a little cheaper on Ebay and craigslist. Think the total came to like $940 and some change. Got the good deal on the 7970 last week and found a Rosewill Blackhawk for $50 so I got that case instead. Overall pretty happy with the build.
I agree that the Xbox one has much better graphics as opposed to the 360, but in time PC will eventually become the dominant one for gaming quality.
PC is already dominant for graphics quality. No doubt about that. But, PC will never become #1 used for overall gaming.
I'd get a PC if any of my friends played on them. And the money for a good one. It gets lonely on here.
That's one of the few rational objections to PC gaming. I'll never tell a person what platform to game on. I'll say "get the platform your friends are on." Otherwise you'll just be that isolated guy with the shiny toys.
