I don't see what the issue is with paying more for a PC than a gaming console, because PC's are out of the box able to do much more useful things than a console. I will gladly play 1K to build a PC to my specifications, but I would never pay 1K for any gaming console that doesn't run a full featured OS (and if it does, you might as well call it a PC).
If you think about it, most people already will own a PC just because it's such an essential fixture in the household. The cost you put into getting parts that are significantly better for the purpose of gaming is a lot more important, which for people that don't buy the top of the line graphics cards usually won't add up to more than 300-400 dollars, assuming you don't need to replace core parts like your motherboard and power supply because you didn't plan to expand.
And if you want to pay more for your parts, at least you have the option to make your experience better. I can't install an SSD or upgrade the RAM on my PS3, and the load times and netcode will be forever awful.
