PC FPS gamers more skilled then 360 ones

Well, the results were conclusive enough for Microsoft to scrap an entire project. I'd say that proves quite a bit.

Well based on what the story said it was one team (probably of 4) of console players against another 4 PC gamers.
8 people can't completely represent millions of people.

If you bought the latest Xbox consoles as they came out...
1) Xbox. $300 launch price. Not counting controllers or anything that you'll probably want.
2) Xbox 360. $300 launch price for the bare bones version. Not counting controllers or anything that you'll probably want.
3) Kinect. $150.
So you've already spent far more than I have. Your original figure is also forgeted up because 2 Xboxs would cost more than my figure even without the kinect. Dumbass, learn how to do simple math.
And that's not even counting (this is about when the figures break down from 'actual fact' into 'estimates')
4) replacement Xbox(s) because the original(/last) one broke.
5) controllers and all that stuff
And the lack of all the things you can do on a PC that you can't on an Xbox.
Overall, the price comparison just doesn't really work. With some work you can get a good computer for around $1000 and pop $500 on upgrades over the years. Keeping up with consoles over that period will get you up around $1000. The abundance of extra things you can do with a computer well makes up the quaint $500 difference.
And if you're someone like Bisjac none of this really matters at all.

PC's are a stuffload of money, and Xbox launched 8 years ago.
That is most likely 2 PC's in order to stay "up to date" and "more graphically advanced than Xbox" as many of you have already said. That is more than 1500, most likely, for 2 PC's.
Also, a controller is 30 bucks, not too pricey.
And finally, Xbox replaces your Xbox with a RROD or the black screen error with a brand new xbox if you had it for less than 3 years without any extra warranty.
And no, Xbox will not cost anyone more than $600 if you were to buy them as they came out. And even still, it is so much nicer to play with your friends on a couch than with your friends across town, so the controllers are so worth it.
