@BenKenobi: You know, you're just proving the "expensive PC gaming" point further. 350 a year, means seven Wii games in a year. I've had my Wii for 19 months and i have bought 11 games for it. If we assume that Wii games cost 50 per game, i could only had just upgraded my PC, without buying any games for it. Of course, new console will need to be bought every five or six years, which is cheaper than the PC yearly update.
5x350=1750 (that's for PC harware updates)
2x300=600 (console hardware updates)
1750-600=1150 (that's the difference you are able to spend on games on consoles)
1150/50=23 (that's the number of games games you get with the money, when a game is 50 a piece)
5x12/23=2,6 (that's how often you are able to get a game with the price diffence during the five years)

Uh...you can't just take the cost of PC hardware minus the cost of Wii hardware and assume you HAVE that money.

The point isn't how many games you can buy with the cost difference.  The point is, how much would it cost you to buy, as an example, 12 games a year for either platform.  And you have to factor that into the whole deal.

In a 5 year span, your only cost is not hardware, as you made it seem there, it's also software.

And my point was PC gaming is more expensive than any of the console offerings, but not by that much...it's more like 1/3 more.
