Because they have to. Everyone has the same hardware in their consoles, so they have to limit the graphics to get a 30 fps minimum. With PC games, they can do whatever they want with the graphics, and adjust minimum required specs accordingly. That's why PC games look better than their console counterparts 99.9% of the time.

Consoles are only cheaper if you already have a TV. On top of that, if a part fails in a console you have the replace the entire unit, while on a PC, you can just replace the defective part.
Socky:
If you put all the things the computer has (i.e. programming) onto the consoles they would be equally expensive.

How many people don't have TVs? not many. and how often do you have to replace parts? Almost never. A gaming PC is more expensive, there is no arguing about that.
