The best gaming system out the is also the most expensive but in truth for those who really couldn't be bothered about the money, It also has the most games!
Yes... the PC can be built as the best system and while many of the other consoles, even the PS3 sometimes don't allow 1080 resolution, we can have it on quite a few games!
We have the most vast library of games, which includes the MAJORITY of exclusives released for the X-Box 360 for example + we are certain to have the best iteration of games that are multi-platform as most are them are built on a PC first.
We also look forward to games like Crysis Warhead that could probably force a few consoles to melt or really nice rpgs like Diablo or strategy games like starcraft 2. We have the best MMO so far in World of Warcraft.
So really, I couldn't care less... I find myself reluctant to shell out $400 for a PS3 while I don't mind building a $2000 Core 2 Quad pc. And really, my next-gen gaming system would eat your little console alive... or dead...

Very common mistake-- just because games are built on PC's does not mean they automatically work on the PC. The engine must know how to make something the PC can use and not all engines can do that or are even made to do that first.
Also, opinion doesn't equal fact. Your Pc might be awesome but that doesn't mean I can sit on my couch and play it on my big screen TV. Personally, I don't like being huddled over looking at even a 21" monitor playing my game when I could be relaxing on my comfy sofa while playing my game on a 40" TV.

Those problems you speak of do not really matter because of one company...M$. Their 'bloatware' keeps compatibility issues to a minimum in regards to software. It is called Legacy Code.

You don't know what you're talking about. As I said, games are made on PC's but not all engines make something that PC's can use. It's confusing because you can run the game on a PC in a lot of editors but that just doesn't mean that the game automatically runs on all PC's unless users want to run their game through the editor (which they don't).
If they want a game to run on the PC, they have to 1) make the engine be able to talk to the PC and make something it can use and 2) make an install file which can be harder than you would think.
This isn't a simple compatability thing, it's just even though the game is made on a PC thing, it doesn't always work on the PC thing.
