Can you point out all the wrong things about this pro-console argument?

So One of my friend's Dad said this regarding pc vs console gaming. Keep in mind a lot of it is wrong, and ironically he claims to work with computers. Here it is:

"PCs are obsolete once they hit the shelves. You drop $300 when a new and better PC is already about to be out. Meanwhile, console update themselves automatically, improving hardware and stability. You could upgrade your PC, but that just milks money out of you. $3000 for a high grade graphics card without the RAM, motherboard, processor, or HDMI. As for 120 frames? That's 4k, so unless you bought a 4k monitor then that's bull. Even if the game is 120fps, the monitor wouldn't handle nor would the graphics card if it wasn't a high quality expensive one. The processor would also wear out twice as fast. And a one TB hard drive? Our TV has that. The cheapest "all-in-one" PC is $500, and that doesn't even have blue-ray. So, PCs are not cost effective, and milk the money out of you with upgrades and better ones coming out. A true, awesome PC is around $10,000. The guys you are talking about are wannabe PC gamers."

Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone's got one.

Most of that is a bit of garbage. You can't compare the latest and greatest pc with a console.
Bang for buck, you can't go past a console, thats true. You're also well into diminishing returns with a good PC, so you're spending a lot more to get a little.

But how far do you take that concept?
Do you live in a cardboard box under a bridge because paying for a house is just going to "milk the money out of you"?

Im not going to even start with that one...
Every point made is essentially wrong, and can be countered with factual information through research...

About that bang for the Buck part, remember that consoles appear cheaper, but overtime can cost you more because you need to pay for online, and more expensive games.

I also love that estimated cost for the GPU.
I play games at higher settings and resolutions than consoles, on a 250 dollar card (at time of purchase)
