What exactly is a "standard" gaming PC? Mind you, there are hundreds of combinations of parts to choose from, and it doesn't need to be extremely expensive. You also have to consider the additional costs of a console like the unnecessary online subscription, the cost of additional controllers, and the cost of games. It really adds up. Oh, and a controller isn't "just better". I would never use a controller for a competitive FPS, not would I use one for a racing sim.
