There appears to be too many moving variables to make a solid analysis.

So one game was the same price on one retailer? That's your comparison?

More recently I got Dead Island Riptide with the pre-order DLC for $27 and a free copy of Risen with it.

It's $50 on console right now.

Consoles: don't have to build shite. Can buy games, pop in, and play.

Can't put a price on that.

Can't put a price on being amazing. PC provides that as well.

The bad thing about trying an analysis like this is trying to account for everything else a PC can do.

No. You buy it from Greenmangaming.com and they give you a steam key to use.

See my thread for a 20% off code to use for it

I think today is the last day for it

yeah its a total waste of time.
there is also the factor of you cant really build a console but you can build a gaming tower. so would you need to compare only retail gaming towers to the console?

it doesnt matter. gabe is coming to all our rescue with the steambox. they even have patent pending controllers
