If you want the games played in the living room, why not?
Although you could set up a PC with an HDTV, the PC isn't *usually* the centerpiece of a living room. Get a console for that. A PC isn't a complete replacement of any console, no matter how powerful it is.
PCs are "do all you can" machines. Consoles, on the other hand, are easy to pick up and play (a quick play of Soul Calibur for instance).
Besides, you don't want to interrupt your sister's IM session when you drop by and want to play Gears or Halo or something.
