for about 700 bucks (XB1 w/ Kinect new, 1 year gold, 2 game plus tax-ish) you can buy and build your own PC to run at 1080x1920 Native and play a game like BF4 over 65-70 FPS. the thing to remember is you can always upgrade for about the price of a few new console games depending on the part. for those who like to sit back and play on the big screen with a controller you can still do that too.
this is for educational purposes, for those who don't know or for anyone who thinks "boy i wouldn't mind having a PC to play on but man it's just too expensive".
there are also incredible deals that are always available on Steam. beyond the dirt cheap Summer and Winter (Stick of Truth for 25 bucks one day - good luck getting it for less than 50 bucks at Gamestop) sales they'll have for instance a Rockstar Sale where every title by Rockstar is dirt cheap. there are a handful of sites that will offer deals on brand new games as well where you'll pay maybe 47-54 instead of 63-65 (state depending) and you also have no yearly membership to play online fee.
