These are cheaper than computers most of the time still, especially to play certain games.
Consoles are more expensive than PCs for equivalent performance for most of a console generation.
When a new console generation starts, they are price competitive over PCs for a year or two, but even then, they are not price competitive in terms of the total cost of ownership. Games on PC are significantly cheaper. Online services are free as opposed to a subscription on consoles. And I haven't even touched piracy, which you can't do on consoles.
