The more, the better.
Consoles cheaper than gaming PCs? Maybe if you're parents bought you one but won't buy you a PC.
With consoles you pay $120 a year in extortion "online multiplayer fees" that do nothing to improve your performance or experience. Not to mention those who get duped into buying XIM APEX for $130.
I suppose if you buy a PS4 slim, and only play F2P online multiplayer (so you dont have to buy playstation plus), then a console is cheaper, but otherwise, not so much.
PS4 Slim = $300
PS4 Slim $300 + 2 yrs of playstation Plus $240 = $540
PS4 Pro $400 + 2 years of playstation plus $240 = $640
PS4 Pro $400 + 2 years of PS Plus $240 + XIM APEX = $760
Build your own 1060/1660 based machine from parts ... $600 ($540 PC + $60 windows license key)
Pre-Built GTX 1060 based gaming PC at best buy, today.... $750
Pre-Built GTX 1660 based gaming PC (someday soon).... probably $650
Plus, a GTX 1060/1660 based machine has much better visual quality and 10x the utility of a console. GTX 1060 has a 30% faster GPU, 60%+ faster CPU, almost twice the ram (8gb + 6gb instead of 8gb shared), and is 10x more useful than a console. In the end, you'll get at least 30% better framerate at 4-times-better visual quality (because of higher rez textures, models, and better anti-aliasing)
Plus, if you look out over just a bit longer (say 5 years),a PC is even more economical because of upgrades. Most PC parts (CPUs, HDDs, SSDs, case, power supply) don't change that much over 5 years.. the only thing you really need to upgrade is the GPU (and maybe HDD to SSD). So Instead of spending $600 on console online multiplayer fees over 5 years, you can spend $300 on one GPU upgrade after 2-3 years, and make your graphics 2x faster.
NOTE: don't even bring up "4k"... consoles render in 1080p and just stretch the picture to 4k... This is "faker 4k" not real 4k. A gtx 1060 PC can easily do this with higher visual quality than a console. If you want "real 4k" at 30fps, you need to spend $2000+ on a gtx 1080Ti, or SLI, or RTX 2070/2080 setup.
I have PC since ~1998 so i know what you mean but there's one thing you didn't add to your calculations --> physical console games.
Many players buy console to buy/sell physical copies of games and save many money in this way.
Also your right about PS4 Slim but if you want to build 4K gaming PC at even 30 fps like console usually do then it's way more expensive then PS4 Pro of even Xbox One X.
The only annoying thing in games like Apex on consoles is lack of mouse support and crossplay with PC friends.
The PS4 Pro and XBox One X do **NOT** render in 4k That's just marketing garbage.
They render in 1080p and use blurry upscaling to turn it into "faker 4k". You can do this on a PC also, and get higher quality.
No setup is going to render 3d at "native 4k" at 30fps until you spend $2k+ on a machine with a GTX 1080Ti, or RTX 2070/2080, or some kind of dual GPU SLI setup.
My Machine has a gtx 1080Ti, and I get 60-100fps at 1440p gsync, but if I was running at 4k I doubt it would maintain above 30fps at all times.

As for saving money on buying used console CDs... Once you start counting the cost of software, it really depends what you want to play specifically. The PC has some super high quality F2P games, like League of Legends and DOTA2. Plus, Steam has incredible sales on games that are just a little bit older. You just put them in your wishlist and wait for them to email you that the games are on sale at 50-75% off. This builds a really awesome game library that you can carry with you from PC to PC -- unlike console games. I find it hard to believe that used console disks can be as cheap as this, but I also don't really care for console games so I've never looked into it.
I admit that if you already have a living room HDTV, then a Console can save money ($150?) by reusing that as a display... And while you could hook a gaming PC up to a living room TV -- using mouse/keyboard in the living room is super awkward.. And while you can use controller on PCs, you still need the mouse/keyboard to operate the machine. Plus, games typically have controller-aim-assist on console, but only sometimes have it on pc-controllers. So for someone who is just 100% all in on being a living room couch gamer, a console might make practical sense even if it's not the best graphics for the money.
A PC also becomes even more economical over 5+ years (assuming you don't have parts failures), because desktop GPUs get faster and cheaper every ~6 months. So every 2-3 years you can drop a new $200-300 GPU into a PC to make the graphics 2-3 TIMES faster.. while that console still keeps rendering it's blurry pixels as you wait for a new console to come out which costs too much at launch, doesn't typically run all your old games (which maybe you sold back to the used store anyhow), plus you are back into a new $120 a year subscription.
@Kuro466 I know it's not native 4K except some games on XoX and few on PS4 Pro but what i mean is that playing on 4K monitor with 1440p set in game is very blurry if the monitor is scaling the input and only newer games offer upscaling. On consoles you don't have to worry that your game will look like garbage on 4K monitor/TV and will work usually at stable 30 fps for that low price compared to PC system.
About games you are also right but i didn't say that i have consoles especially for physical copies but what most people do - that's why consoles are so popular and considered low cost devices. Even if you buy games on PC with 75% sale it's still going to your virtual account and you can't sell it in future so for ppl who don't earn much money this is very important.
So i still think that allowing M&K on consoles in such games as Apex and mixing that users with PC base is a very good idea - that way i would play with friends who don't have PC.
Ps. I have 2080 Ti and i can't play many games on ultra at 60 fps so i know how demanding native 4K is 🙂
Cool story bro.
Here's a different calculation.
Investment PC = $800ish, depending on what you get.
Investment Console = $0, cause I already have one.
