The whole 'PC is cheaper' argument ignores one big thing

I see people all the time saying you can build a PC that beats a console for the same price. But they never factor in the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Windows license. I priced it out last week for a friend and by the time you add all that you're looking at $300 to $400 more easy. Has anyone else noticed people conveniently leaving out those costs in these debates?

Eh, not quite. You can use a TV for a monitor and a cheap $20 mouse and keyboard set. Windows can be had for free or super cheap too. Still ends up cheaper in the long run for me.

Yeah but a TV instead of a monitor feels like a downgrade to me.
