Man so much hate here. I've been a PC gamer since I was kid starting with the Commodore 64, if you can call that a PC. There is a time and place for PC games and console games. I've always been weary of playing games on consoles because of the lack of upgradeability, no keyboard/mouse etc, but in recent years I gotten a PSP, Wii and a few months ago a 360. I've pretty much left my PC for gaming while I travel and for internet.
Why? Because now I have a son and I have very little time to play video games. When I do have time there is nothing like starting up the Xbox and loading up the Orange Box, Bioshock or whatever for a quick game. PCs are great for games, but for me, it's not as comfortable as a console. On a 42" HD Plasma games look great. yeah..I could do that with my PC, but I don't want to have the asociated cables, keyboard, mouse etc within my son's reach in my living room. The days of locking myself away in my "computer room" are over.
