Pretty much. Personally, I'm going PC this year. I already started to play some game on my new MBP... feels good. With Big Picture and more and more games that support the controller, it's awesome.
The 500$ PC that will "beat the specs" is pretty optimistic. Sure you'll be able to play a lot of games but certainly not maxed out current gen or even max the last year of games. But yeah, it got a lot cheaper. I did a preliminary build it comes at 1200$ and it's a beast. So you can get away cheaper. I guess around 750$-800$ would be a sweet spot where you can play much of current games at decent levels.
The price of games are also to consider. With Steam sales and all you can get a lot for your money. If you just save 10-15$ per games, with let say 20 games per console generation, which is not that much, you can save up to 300$... and that's conservative.
